Can I freeze this meal?

Yes! You can freeze the pureed version in silicone trays for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Why serve this at room temperature?

Serving the dish slightly cool or at room temperature makes it a refreshing, hydrating lunch for hot summer days, and the cooler temperature can be especially soothing for teething babies.

Is the chayote skin safe for babies?

While technically edible, the skin can be tough and poses a choking risk. It is highly recommended to peel the chayote completely to ensure a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
