Butternut Squash is packed with vitamin A, supports eye health, and can reduce your risk of osteoporosis. They can be a little tricky to peel because it contains a sap-like substance that becomes quite slippery when cut. My favorite squash-peeling method is to cut a thin slice off the bottom so it stands flat and place on a cutting board and peel in a downward motion. I usually use a clean kitchen towel to hold the squash because the sap-like substance can also dry into a tough film on your fingers.
