In summer, when the hot weather makes the appetite unwinding, this is when chayote, a refreshing and delicious vegetable, becomes a delicacy on the table. Not only is it crisp, but it's also packed with nutrients, making it a healthy choice for summer.
I remember when I was a child, every summer, my grandmother would always pick fresh chayote from the vegetable garden and make a stir-fried chayote for us. The fresh taste and subtle sweetness always whet my appetite.
Chayote has a very high nutritional value, it is rich in vitamin C, carotene, potassium, calcium and other nutrients, which is very beneficial to health.
