Chayote, Bengali কোয়াস, Nepali इस्कुस
Chayote is a unique vegetable-like fruit that is enjoyed in different parts of the world. In India, its popularity is limited to East and North East India and some regions of South India, where it is a common kitchen ingredient. In Siliguri, Chayote is mostly brought from the hills of Darjeeling and Kalimpong, making it fresher and cleaner compared to many other vegetables available in the market.
One of the reasons Chayote from the hills is preferred is that the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers is very rare in those areas. As a result, the Chayote that reaches your home is often naturally grown and organic in nature (though not certified). This makes it a healthier and safer choice for your family.
