🗺️ Origin & Cultural Significance
Chayote (Sechium edule), also known as mirliton, vegetable pear, or sayote, is native to Mesoamerica, particularly Mexico and Central America, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years by the Aztecs and Mayans.
In Latin American, Caribbean, Filipino, and Southeast Asian cuisines, chayote is a staple — boiled, sautéed, juiced, or steeped into tonics. But beyond its culinary uses, it’s long been respected as a natural remedy in traditional medicine.
Chayote isn’t just food — it’s ancestral medicine.

💡 Tips for Success
Use fresh, firm chayote — avoid any with soft spots.
Drink the tonic warm in the morning on an empty stomach, or chilled throughout the day.
Pair with a low-sodium, whole food diet for best results.
Don’t discard the chayote seed — it’s edible and rich in antioxidants.
Use organically grown chayote if possible to avoid chemical residue.
