With two preparation options, the dumplings are a great option to leave the chayote, which is usually remembered as a vegetable without much taste, tastier and more attractive, even for children. The shape and flavor of the chayote ball pleases everyone and makes lunch or dinner look like an afternoon coffee or even bar food.
Betting on serving at a meal, with a beautiful varied salad of vegetables and grains (such as lentils, chickpeas and black-eyed peas) is a great choice. If the idea is to serve as snacks, bet on tasty sauces, a strong pepper and a refreshing drink, such as pineapple juice with mint or a mojito.
The main ingredient of our chayote cupcake has a number of benefits for our body, although they are not very well known. This vegetable is capable of regulating blood glucose, helping to cleanse the toxins in our body on a daily basis and favoring the elimination of localized fat.
It is also a strong ally to the health of the hair, being able to give it more shine and volume. For pregnant women, it is a great food to help with the formation of the baby, due to the large amount of folic acid it has. It also has a large amount of magnesium and phosphorus, which helps to strengthen bones and teeth.
