Isn't it crazy that something that grows as wild and abundant as chayote can be so expensive to buy?? Same with lettuce - it's such an easy crop for us and self seeds, but because commerically it's grown in areas prone to flood, it's more likely to suffer times where it's not available. Even eggs - we always have eggs, but at times there's none in the supermarket. Another reason to do what you can to grow your own food, right? What's your favourite chayote recipe?
