Loading...Kabocha squash is a popular ingredient in Okinawan cooking and is often called the Japanese pumpkin. It’s rich in vitamins and is a good source of iron. It also contains fiber, which aids in moving toxins out of your system. Add it to a noodle bowl and you have yourself an Okinawan-inspired meal that is easily portable and can be mixed up with different variations of squash if you’re feeling adventurous.
