Sechium Edule

Labu Siam (Chayote) is a member of the gourd family that was used a millennium ago by the Mayans of tropical America. It has a delicate, nutty flavor a bit like squash. You can substitute squash, potatoes or green papayas in recipes that call for chayote. It is also known as jipang in Java.
