Hi Allenann,  Since squash is high in potassium, I don't cook with it much.

I'm glad you joined.

@ Rerun.   I don't like squash, but I had no idea it was high in potassium.  Good to know.

Welcome to our community!  Are you cooking for someone who has to watch their sodium and potassium?  Please tell us a little about yourself so we can get to know you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

When I first started this while thing my nutritionist told me that winter squash ar high in potassium, but summer squash are relatively low. I wouldn't go eating them every day, but like most other things on our restrictive diet I don't see what a little bit here and there would be so bad. Also, I don't know if it would work, but I'm a potato-fiend so I cut them into small cubes and soak them over night to draw out some of the potassium, so it might work on squash (I don't really care for squash, so I haven't tried it).
