Researchers often emphasize the benefits of getting vitamins and minerals from natural food sources whenever possible. Chayote provides an excellent way to do that! Chayote is a fast-growing, sun-loving, nutritious vegetable that, left untethered, can completely take over a garden, fence or tree in your yard. Not only does it taste good, taking on the flavor of the dish, but it’s also a rich source of nutrients such as:
- vitamin C (15.6 mg)
- vitamin K (8.3 mcg)
- vitamin B3 (1 mg)
- vitamin B6 (.2 mg)
- folate (189 mcg)
- fiber (3 g)
- zinc (1.5 mg)
- copper (.2 mg)
- manganese (.4 mg)
- magnesium (24.4 mg)
- potassium (254 mg)
These are all critical nutrients that we need to stay healthy.
Enjoy Your Healthy Life!
