Nice video. Just made chayote stir fry tonight. It’s delicious but my hands got irritated from the thorn and peeling the skin. Will follow your advice next time 👍
Thank you for the useful video, Mex Mundo! My questions are why you don't like to peel cooked chayote and is it effect the taste of it if we peel after cooking? I just bought chayote with thorns for the first time and checked on TH-cam the ways to peel it.:) My favorite way to cook chayote is stuffed with shrimp and want to try the same recipe with chayote with thorns. Thank you again!
Good question! It doesn't have an effect on taste, at least not one that I notice. But somehow the thorns sometimes tend to stick on the chayote and it is a bit of a nuisance. It also takes longer to cook the chayote whole. I jumped over to check your channel and it is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for your lovely videos as well!
@@MexMundoKitchen Thank you for your kind words to me about my channel and answer! Just cooked both smooth and with thorns chayote to compare. I like thorns more because they are less watery. I peeled raw and cooked with thorns chayote. I agree completely with you, I will be peeling only raw now before cooking. Skin after boiling does not come out easy, we still need to peel it with a knife. Thank you again for the useful video!
@@MexMundoKitchen Thank for your reply. So many posts I had read stated do not peal before freezing. My wife grows the spiny variety and I didn’t want to deal with trying to remove the spiny peal on diced chayote. Thanks again.
For me the opposite! Since peeled is when it causes me an allergic reaction in my hands. I look online and yes that's such a thing, the chayote releases a sap that causes this.
