If the Blue Hubbard is too large for you, there is a
miniature cultivar. It is a cross between buttercup and
blue hubbard that weighs between 3-5 pounds. Its flesh
is almost as sweet as the Blue Hubbard.
The benefits of eating Blue Hubbard squash are very
good for inflammatory conditions. It is an outstanding
source of antioxidants. Winter squash contains
vitamin C and manganese as well. The compounds
found in winter squash are known to have potential
benefits in helping to prevent cancer. Squash helps
to balance blood sugar levels in the body because of
an important and unusual B vitamin complex found
in the flesh. When choosing winter squash it is best
to pick organic if possible, Blue hubbard squash packs
a powerful punch in creating a strong defense system
against colds and flu.
