CHILACAYOTE 35LB

Chilacayote is a squash, similar in shape to a watermelon, with a smooth and firm rind. This squash contains vitamin b8 which is used as an insulin mediator for diabetics, while also having seeds that are high in protein. Cooked Chilacayote squash has a mild, very neutral taste, and easily takes on flavors of other ingredients. The flesh pairs well with onions, garlic, mushrooms, and citrus, while the seeds are often roasted and eaten like peanuts. Mature Chilacayotes can be stored in a cool, dry room for several years, the younger Chilacayotes can be held in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
