Quinoa Stuffed Kabocha Squash image

Kabocha is an excellent source of beta carotene, iron, vitamins C and E, potassium and dietary fiber. It also contains the highest amount of cobalt among all the vegetables, which is essential to produce insulin, thus making kabocha diabetic-friendly.

The kabocha squash was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the quinoa stuffing was delicious. I think I'll try using a different type of squash next time.
