Chayote(Hayatouri) and its two dishes (cooking)
Chayote(Hayatouri), as the name suggests, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family and is available in Japanese markets from autumn to winter. This fruit is not just a fruit, but "the whole fruit is the seed." I have never grown it, but I can imagine it being a vigorous plant.
It has a firm texture and a light taste, so it can be used in a variety of dishes, but I tried to make two dishes this time. One is "lightly pickled" using commercially available pickling liquid. It has a refreshing taste ( photo left).
The other is with a mixture of 3 seasoning : ``red miso: not the white miso that is commonly distributed in Japan, but a dark miso made by fermenting soybeans with soybean malt,'' and ``mirin: a kind of sake'' and ``vinegar'', I seasoned chayote(Hayatouri) after frying with sesame oil. (Photo right)

ハヤトウリとその料理2品（料理）
ハヤトウリは、名前が示す通り、ウリ科の野菜で、日本では秋から冬にかけて市場にでまわる。この実はただの実ではなく、「実全体が種であり」、植え付けるときは、中の種だけでなく、実全体を植え付ける。私は栽培したことはないが、さぞや強勢な植物であることが想像できる。
歯ごたえがあり、味は淡泊なので、いろいろな料理に出来るが、私は今回２種類の料理を作ってみた。一つは、市販の漬け液を使った「浅漬け」。味がさっぱりしている（写真左）。
もう一つは、「赤味噌：日本で普通に流通する白味噌ではなく、大豆に麹を生やしたもので大豆を発酵させる黒っぽい味噌」と、「みりん」「酢」の混合液で、ごま油で炒めたハヤトウリを味付けした。（写真右）

Harnessing the Nutritional Power of Cucumbers for Health and Wellness
Cucumbers have long been recognized as a refreshing addition to salads and sandwiches, but their nutritional value extends far beyond their crisp texture and mild flavor. These humble vegetables, scientifically known as Cucumis sativus, are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that offer a wide range of health benefits, making them a valuable addition to any diet.
Among the many nutrients found in cucumbers, vitamins K, B, and C stand out for their contributions to overall health and wellness. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in bone health and blood clotting, helping to maintain strong bones and prevent excessive bleeding. Meanwhile, vitamins B and C are known for their immune-boosting properties, helping the body fend off infections and illnesses.
In addition to vitamins, cucumbers are rich in minerals essential for various bodily functions. These include copper, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Copper is important for the production of red blood cells and the maintenance of a healthy immune system, while phosphorus supports bone health and energy metabolism. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure and muscle function, while magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including energy production and nerve function.
One of the most appealing aspects of cucumbers is their low calorie and high-water content. This makes them an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a healthy weight or stay hydrated, particularly during hot weather or after exercise. In fact, cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them one of the most hydrating vegetables available.
Beyond their nutritional value, cucumbers offer numerous culinary possibilities. They can be enjoyed fresh in salads, sandwiches, and wraps, or used as a crunchy topping for tacos and burgers. Cucumbers can also be pickled to create tangy snacks or blended into refreshing smoothies and chilled soups.
Furthermore, cucumbers have gained popularity in the world of skincare for their hydrating and soothing properties. Cucumber extract and cucumber powder are commonly used ingredients in skincare products, such as moisturizers, serums, and masks. These products help to hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and soothe irritation, making them particularly beneficial for sensitive or sunburned skin.

#1841 - Citrullus amarus - Pig Melon
AKA Pie Melon
Despite the large size and resemblance to the watermelon Citrullus lanatus, probably not edible. Although it used to be included in the same species as the watermelon, and the taxonomy of the genus is a little annoying.
Native to the arid parts of sub-Saharan Africa, but present in Australia since at least 1836. It may have been introduced here as camel food. Now found over most of the continent.
