This is one of those vegetables my Peruvian customers are always happy to find fresh. Caigua has a light, slightly crisp texture that soaks up flavor in the best way. It’s simple, but when you cook it right, it brings the whole dish together.

I’ve had customers come in specifically asking for this because it’s not easy to find. If you’ve had it before, you already know—there’s nothing quite like it.

• Inca’s Food Caigua (4pc) — A traditional Peruvian vegetable with a mild flavor and tender texture, perfect for stuffing or cooking in sauces.
• Essential for classic dishes — My customers use this to make caigua rellena, where it’s filled with seasoned meat and cooked until soft and flavorful.
• Absorbs flavor beautifully — Caigua takes on whatever you cook it with, making it a perfect base for rich, savory fillings.
• Fresh and ready to use — Just clean, prep, and cook. Simple ingredient, big impact.
• Inca’s Food brand — A name my customers trust when they’re looking for hard-to-find Peruvian ingredients.
