Introduction

Chayote (Sechium edule) is an edible plant belonging to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. The fruit is mostly used cooked and it is considered a fruit much like tomato. In terms of its appearance it is pear shaped, lumpy with green colour. However, chayote proves that you should not judge a food by its appearance as it has a very good nutrition profile.

The fruit is native to Mesoamerica and was gradually spread into many Latin American countries. There is evidence that chayote was cultured by the Aztecs and Mayans and later European colonists introduced the fruit to the Caribbean, South America, and Europe. Eventually, it was also introduced to Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Chayote is produced in many regions around the globe. It is produced in high amounts in China, India, Taiwan, California, Florida, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Australia and Honduras to name a few.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
