I met a man who showed me how he prepared it. You cut off the little “eyes” that are all over the soursop. Then you peel off the rim of the fruit. Then he cut the soursop into thin strips. We ate some fresh, but he told me he throws them in stews and things he would saute. Sue

You shouldn’t have problems finding food without corn or dairy. salpr.com is a good site to check out Puerto Rico’s eateries and restaurants. Buen Provecho.

Yes…it looks to be a guanabana not a chayote–the guanabana has the prickly looking skin. Thanks!

That’s not a chayote, it’s a fruit called guanabana(soursop)

It is very common throughout Central Latin America, too.

Could be a bit of a challenge–but with careful planning could work. Lots of rice based meals and beans generally on the side. If true allergy to corn –that would be difficult as it is added to many foods.

I am curious how easy or difficult San Juan was or would be for someone following a low FODMAP diet with a corn and dairy allergy added to the mix? Thinking of a family vacation with accomodating my daughters’s dietary restrictions. Tx Helen
