Squash Crunchiest

We have the squash crispies and then the squash shoestring.

Sounds weird but both are nutritious and delicious. Because these are made from squash, fried into crispness and crunchiness.

Crispies are sliced into thin flakes and fried to become an awesome snack.

Shoestring is not used for shoes but are actually  pringles like squash snack, sized into sticks and fried to become a good food.

Both are vacuum fried-- the process of frying without the cooking oil. So the real taste, color and smell are all intact and not altered by this process of cooking.

That means the power of vitamin A and all other vitamins and minerals in this favorite vegetable fruit are all in there.

That also means squash is now also for snack and not only for our pinakbet and dinengdeng dishes.

Level up for our yellow vegetable fruit. And it is crunchy and crispy just like our junky snack food.

Of course kids now will love squash. No more forcing them to eat the yellow fruit because its good for their eyes.

And thanks to Department of Science and Technology For such innovations they are introducing to the community.

Squash now can be a nice treat to our family.
