#41 on our scavenger hunt list was eating a wonderful vegetable called chayote. We have enjoyed eating chayote regularly since we moved to Costa Rica. It is delicious and super inexpensive because it is grown here. Last weekend we set out to explore the province of Cartago and while enjoying a beautiful view from a mountain top we noticed some amazing farm land down below. We set out to explore what the crops were and we were so surprised to discover chayote growing. We didn't realize it was a vine crop and we loved seeing how it was growing.
