  1. Great, but what exactly is Chaya? Obviously a kind of green, but is it related to something we would know?

    1. Chaya grows like a shrub and is native to Central America. The closest type of greens I could compare it to, in the sense of texture and taste, would be collard greens. But you're not going to find it anywhere in Michigan :) You can learn more about it here: https://www.echocommunity.org/en/resources/af937e2d-4b83-4da9-ac3f-375c98f167b7
