Your very helpful my grandmother is 96 she can’t teach me but I’m very great full for the teachings bless
I usually sautee it with pieces of sweet peppers, grape tomatoes, onions, garlic and a few spices. Thanks for new ideas.
Yeah nobody Neva really ask you dat still enuh
I like also rice and peas
I’ve used it like potatoes with roast beef and as apples in a keto apple crisp. You are indeed correct that the Chocho (chayote) takes on the flavor of what it is cooking in. Thanks for your effort. Darlington, South Carolina
I’m Brazil we call it Chuchu (ch = sh) we peel cut it up in pieces and sautee in butter and garlic! So good!
Thanks for sharing...In Nepal we call it 'escoos' and we eat it's seed , roots and the young leafs , in rainy days we boil the whole chayote and enjoy with just salt😍
Iske paranthe v toh bnate ha ..India me Bui escoos bolte ha
I often see that vegetable in Asian supermarkets but never know how to use them... Thanks to you now I know is how 😋 I will definitely try it!
You can tell that she's such a sweet person. Thanks so much mama! 🙏
Thanks for easy peasy and practical. Love your easy manner and easy smile.
We call it choko here. My mother used to peel, chop and boil it as one of the vegies in meat and three veg. Boiled or steamed and smothered in butter it's great!
You remind me of my late grandma...though she was Swedish. hehe Just same attitude. Just bought a “chocho” for the first time today... learning from the best! Thanks!
Here in Louisiana we call it mirliton . My favorite is shrimp mirliton dressing.
My grandma also cooked it with saltfish
Thank You Auntie, I know about Chayote as we call it here in Hawaii, But I just wanted to hear what you had to say about it & now I know it is Chocho. God Bless from South Kona Hi.
Nice, clean, organized kitchen! Super.
I picked one of these up not long ago in our local grocery store. It was a lot smaller than the one you have here. I used it in a stir fry with other veggies as I would a squash. I enjoyed it.
Respect mother much love...
thanks for the info , just given some today and wondered what they were .
Thank you. Very helpful. Big up my Jamaicans
Chocho is actually my nickname! 🤣
🤣
Your so sweet, you remind me of my mum, God bless stay safe x

In southern Louisiana we call it a Merleton and make Merleton and shrimp dressing or cook it down with garlic, onions and ground meat.
Thank you so much!! Was watching Chef Ricardo Cooking and saw this. Will try.
Thank you! Very useful!
Wonderful info,,, thank you very much
You have such a comforting spirit! Thanks for the tips :^)
Loved your video instruction. You covered all the basis. I now know how versatile chocho is in cooking.
I would have never known that it could be used in salads or that it’s mild and takes on the flavors of your soup.
You made me smile while educating me. Your a terrific teacher.
My daughter is ten years old and loves to cook. I’m going to show her your video and make Jamaican soup with her.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I see you like healthy food. Look at this recipe for okra with meat. You will love okra from now on: czcams.com/video/3h5bceqAoyU/video.html
thanks again Miss Fay - hope you're paying attention Angela!
Thanks I grew this vegetable on my 20 story balcony facing the Southwest up in Vancouver Canada and it was not part of the program but it was in its own part and it all the sudden one day was just there. I'm sad this day because it fell off as I was looking at it but it gave me a chance to try it to peel it to cut it and It was still a fair size like probably a Mandarin Orange size I also read the health benefits and Enjoy your video very much thank you!
I just love watching you and hearing about your recipes. Warwick (Australia)
Your a delight to watch. Thank you.
So helpful thank you! I cannot eat potatoes anymore, so am going to try this in my fried potatoes and ham instead of the potatoes. Hope it works. Have a great day kind lady!
I LOVE CHOCHO! My mom told me you can eat it raw and I didn't believe her
Damn, you and your mom be talking about munching on chocho like that?!
Thank you for your information mom
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ demonstration thank you
Oh I forgot it is called Pipinola in Hawaii. I wondered if you eat Upo squash, (also called bottle gourd) it is a long green squash that is eaten before the seeds mature. I Love that squash & maybe you can do a video on it. It can be used in many ways like stir fry, currys, soups etc.
Love love love your vlogs

thank you for sharing, new friend
Where to get it
In Australia we call them chokos
Do you need to peel it for soup? Do some people leave the skin on when cooking for soup?
Choko here in Australia. I thought my neighbour from India would be very familiar with this fruit I have growing over his fence but he'd never seen it. The plant can take reasonably hot weather but should we get 40'C + days with burning sun it will kill the plant. Once summer is over and autumn arrives it grows a metre every few days and covers everywhere it can climb. A fantastic plant to grow and will easily get four years of productive life from one.
How do you know they are ripe?
Nice video 😍😍😍
This is called 'ISKUS' in Sikkim and Nepal. Grows wild there.
Can Chocho been used to make a drink
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
I've never heard of either of those names for this fruit. It's always been known and sold as a choko.

What nutrients do you get from chocho.
look it up, actually extremely healthy with tons of nutrients
In Trinidad and Tobago we call it Cristophene
In Mauritius they call it shu shu
How do you know when its ripe?
mine is a question.......can a person with liver disease use it
My daughter name is chocho 😅
She’s soo cute
Pete ❤
Heloo
I was told to peel cho cho under water because it makes the skin on my hand peel and itch. You don't have that issue?
+Lauren W. nope don't have that problem. Yellow yam will make you skin itch. Perhaps you're thinking of that?
Dasheen bush said to cause itch too, didn't peel mine however...
Yes cho cho can do that to your skin.
In my language we call it biskot
I like eat the seed
Love your slippers
A quién no le gusta comerse un buen chocho?
CH 😂😂😂
Me estoy muriendo de risa!
I can tell that despiteyour age, you are an educated lady using words like " julienne". I love your presentation especially, your command of the English language Some of the young people don't even know the meaning of "julienne"... they just use these modern gadgets, thereby causing an early onset of flabby upperarm muscles. Thanks for your insight!
I hated chocho growing up and now
we call it chow chow in Tamizh 😀 Tamil Nadu South India
We call it biskot in Khasi language, Meghalaya, Northeast India
