About Chuchu refogado

Chuchu Refogado is a simple and nutritious Brazilian dish made primarily from chayote squash, known as "chuchu" in Portuguese. The recipe typically involves sautéing diced chayote with onions, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt, sometimes with added parsley or cilantro for flavor. Originating from Brazilian home cooking, this dish is a popular side that pairs well with rice and protein-based mains. Chuchu is low in calories, rich in water content, and packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins C and B, fiber, and potassium, making Chuchu Refogado a light, hydrating option ideal for digestion and overall health. However, the use of oil should be moderate to avoid excess calories and fats.
