Chayote Squash

We got some Chayote squash in today. Chayote is also sometimes called a pear squash, Veracruz, Mexico is a main supplier for Chayote to the United States. Chayote has a crisp flavor that can be eaten raw or cooked. The outside of a Chayote looks like a pear and the inside flesh is similiar to a pear or apple as well. We like to gently saute it with a little grapeseed oil, garlic, and salt.
