Do you know super-healthy Chayote? Vegetable containing 90% water

This tropical vegetable of interesting rugged shape belongs to the same "family" as the gourd, patison or zucchini but its taste and consistency also reminded me of European kohlrabi or cucumber.
The plant is from Central America and the largest exporter is Costa Rica.

You don´t need to remove the outer skin, the vegetable can be consumed whole. The flesh is an important staple in Mexican, Asian and Arabic dishes. Fresh chaoyte is excellent in salads and salsa, great tasting, also marinated in lemon or lime juice. It can also be crushed, cooked, fried, dispensed, filled and added to meat and spice mixtures.

I've discovered this miraculous food just recently, but I totally love it

FUN FACT:
Chayote contains up to 90% water, many amino acids and vitamin C.

Stay awesome and Steem on!
