2) Acorn Squash

This is a delicious fruit with a characteristic sweet taste. Fruits are a reliable source of dietary fiber, but this wintery squash is on top of the list if you’re serious about increasing your daily intake. Besides giving you dietary fiber, acorn squash is also rich in vitamin C and has many phytonutrients that contribute to your immune system. As such, acorn squash is a gastrointestinal aid and an immune booster.

You will get around 9 grams of fiber after eating one cup of baked and cubed acorn squash. There are many recipes and dishes, and you don’t have to eat this fruit alone. You can cook acorn squash with various spices, add it to a salad, eat them roasted with parmesan cheese, and much more.
