Did you know the goodness of this Vegetable juice ?
Chow chow, also known as chocho or chayote squash isn’t just a delicacy in Indian cuisines. It boasts a whole gamut of nutritional and health benefits.
Contains essential vitamins and minerals. It is especially rich in vitamin C, which the body does not create on its own, and has to rely on external sources for. It also contains folate (which is great for cell division and for pregnant women), vitamin B6 and vitamin K. Minerals like potassium, manganese, zinc and copper are also found in this squash.
Chow chow is rich in antioxidants, keeping inflammation at bay and ailments like cancers and joint pains. Quercetin, myricetin, morin and kaempferol are the antioxidants found. Not only do these prevent cell-related damage, but they also prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. This squash is also fibre-rich, keeping your gut healthy. It can prevent fatty liver disease since it is closely linked with liver health.
You can make a morning green juice & cooked like a regular veggie – sautéed, roasted, steamed or stir-fried. It can also be added to soups, salads and smoothies.
