Chayote
Chayote is a type of squash originating in central Mexico and various parts of Latin America but grown all over the world.
Chayote is loaded with an array of nutrients and antioxidant compounds that provide many potential health benefits.
It is officially a fruit, but behaves more like a vegetable. Every part of it can be eaten, either raw or, like most squash, cooked.

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
