GREEN CHAYOTE

Green Chayote, also known as vegetable pear or mirliton, is a versatile squash native to Mexico and Central America. Its smooth, pale green skin encases crisp, white flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a hint of cucumber. When cooked, its texture becomes tender but retains a pleasant firmness.

Low in calories and rich in fiber, folate, and vitamin C, Green Chayote is a healthy addition to a balanced diet. It can be enjoyed raw in salads, sautéed, steamed, baked, or added to soups and stews for extra texture and nutrition.
