Organic Chayote 500G
Description
-
Plant: Features a distinctive pear-shaped or fist-shaped fruit with broad longitudinal wrinkles or creases at the apex, growing on vigorous climbing perennial vines with broad, heart-shaped leaves and small white flowers.
-
Fruit and Flesh: The outer skin is smooth or lightly prickly, ranging from pale jade-green to deep emerald, enclosing a firm, crisp, pale green-to-white inner flesh centered around a single large, soft, edible seed.
-
Origin: Native to Mesoamerica (Mesoamerican cloud forests of Mexico and Guatemala), now widely naturalized and cultivated across tropical, sub-tropical, and warm temperate regions globally.
-
Climate: Thrives best in humid, high-altitude tropical highlands (such as Cameron Highlands) or cool tropical valleys where temperatures range between 18°C and 28°C; prolonged lowland heat reduces fruit set.
-
Soil: Prefers rich, deep, well-draining loamy soil with high organic matter and a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–6.8), requiring continuous moisture and full sun exposure.
-
Culinary: Highly adaptable across Asian cooking styles; julienned and stir-fried with garlic or dried shrimp (Stir-Fried Fo Shou Gua), simmered in Malaysian and Indonesian coconut curries (Sayur Lodeh / Sambal Goreng Labu Siam), boiled into Cantonese clear soups with pork ribs, or pickled fresh.
-
Nutritional: Low in calories and rich in water content; high in dietary fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin B9 (folate), potassium, and zinc, supporting digestive health, fluid balance, and cardiovascular wellness.
