Chayote may not be as popular as other vegetables, but it actually has a very good track record when it comes to its health benefits. For starters, chayote contains no cholesterol and unhealthy fats, and is usually recommended for controlling bad cholesterol levels and reducing weight.7 Furthermore, chayote is a rich source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, iron, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, potassium, copper and vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C. Another strong suit of this vegetable is its folate content, which is helpful for cell division and DNA synthesis. Pregnant women can benefit from folate as well, as it helps inhibit neural tube defects among babies. Chayote also has small amounts of aglycone flavonoid polyphonic antioxidants in apigenin and luteolin. These are crucial in helping combat free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body that both play a role in aging and cancer development.

Pumpkins are in! This long burning candle stands 2.25 inches tall, and will burn for approximately 6 hours. While honey is the most popular product of the hive, beeswax is the most biologically expensive for the bees who require on average 8.6 pounds of honey to produce one pound of wax. We think the wax that results from their labors is wonderful in every way, retaining the lovely color and fragrance of the hive. Our beeswax candles are 100% local beeswax,taken only from the burr comb or cappings wax;never from wax used for brood production. Please note that the color will vary depending upon the season, the nectar, the hive, the comb......the bees. Beehaven appreciates and thanks the bees who help make our candles. We hope you will enjoy your candle and the warm glow it gives. We especially hope you will remember to appreciate the honey bees; the ones who make these candles so special.
