Serious Eats

Like it or not, squash – which has four different species – is one of those foods that helps improve cardiovascular health. Like tomatoes, squash is technically a fruit, but is usually cooked before eating. Most squash varieties tend to be low in sodium and phosphorous, but higher in potassium, which makes them generally safer for those suffering from kidney disease, although this should always be discussed with your doctor. They’re also good sources of vitamin A, C, and B vitamins, as well as fiber and antioxidants, which help kidney function. And moreover, they can be eaten in so many different ways, as soup, fries, mash, and lots more.
