It\u2019s one of the Three Sister crops that include corn (maize), beans, and squash are still staples of the Native American diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squash is full of healthy nutrients<\/a> like vitamin A and B6, potassium, manganese, fiber, and more. For this recipe, we use summer squash like crookneck and zucchini varieties because they\u2019re similar shaped and will cook evenly in the bbq\u2013and they\u2019re delicious.
