CHAPTER III:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Our main ingredient is Squash or “kalabasa” (Cucurbita moschata Duch), belonging to family Cucurbitaceae, is

viny, creeping and trailing crop producing fruits and considered to be one of the most delicious vegetables. It is the

most commonly and regularly grown among the cucurbits due to its rich source of Vitamins A and C, phosphorus,

calcium and iron. It can reach a length of 4 meters or more and flowers throughout the year. Adventitious roots are

also commonly formed at its nodes. The leaves are broadly rounded and heart shaped. Flowers are erect, yellow to

deep orange in color, about 12 cm long.

*NUTRIENTS- Squash has very low calories. Phytochemicals is also present in squash. Coumarins and flavonoids

are two of the phytochemicals present in squash. It is also rich in beta-carotene. Summer squash turns out to be the

primary food source of alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. For lutein, zeaxanthin and betacryptoxanthin (three other

health-supportive carotenoids) summer squash also comes out among the top three food sources in several studies.

These antioxidants are especially helpful in protection of the eyes, including protection against age-related macular

degeneration and cataracts. If possible, the skin should not be peeled off and the rind should not be removed when

cooked. Many valuable antioxidant nutrients are found in skin and seeds of squash. Since the skin of this food is

particularly antioxidant-rich, it's worth leaving the skin intact.

*FLOUR, POWDERED SUGAR, BUTTER, SALT, EGG, VANILLA EXTRACT.
