First documented in China in the early 1800s, Spaghetti Squash has gained popularity worldwide as a healthy, low-carb alternative. Its mild flavor makes it versatile in cooking, allowing it to absorb the tastes of other ingredients. Best prepared through roasting, steaming, or baking, the squash has a tough outer rind that can be cooked whole or halved for quicker preparation. After cooking, the flesh can be easily shredded with a fork into stringy noodles.
