Fresh Chayote Squash, Each

I cut it into matchstick size, use this to add texture in salads and slaw. It has a mild flavor, a combination of cucumber and pear. It is loaded with fiber

I love using these squashes. I used them to replace potatoes in my stews. They are light to eat, and absorbs the flavor from the spices I use easily. The price is a good value.

We just tried these today, and they are delicious ! When I tasted a piece of chayote raw, it is kind of like zucchini. After cooking, it held its shape much better than zucchini does and has a really interesting flavor. They are supposed to sprout and you can plant the chayote and grow a whole vine, like you would grow cucumbers. We ate one and i am going to see if I can get the tower one to sprout and grow the vine.

Mrs. Kekahuna from Waimanalo once shared a delicious family recipe with me when I was just a girl. There are several variations, but the first time we traveled to her mother's house on Oahu she had some growing in her back yard way in the corner. I'd never seen them before and after watching and listening to her instructions them tasting it over rice I was hooked. Great family recipe that can be found online. It's delicious and light. Not even similar to any other kind of squash I know of. Definitely worth trying.

It’s a cross between tasting like cucumber but more zucchini like. This squash will stay hard as a rock even though inside it’s ripe. A big warning.. once you start peeling them they are hard to work with because they are slippery and sticky. I suggest using a kitchen cloth to hold it to cut.

I will say it was pretty decent for an exotic squash. I tasted it and then put it in a smoothie and it came out very nice! I would love to buy more, but will do so sparingly because of the price.

I have been getting these squash for a few months, at first they were a nice size , the appearance was nice and the price was ok. The past month they are getting smaller, look banged up and the price is a lot higher. I understand during growing season they are better but at least adjust the price down and warn people that they are smaller due to out of season.

I can’t use the chayote. It’s trash. They should have just said there wasn’t any available. It’s mushy and dark brown. It’s almost the whole side of it. I want a refund.

I ordered this item on June 22 and they were delivered yesterday, June 23, cold as if they were taken from the freezer or refrigerator. For some reason, I was refunded only .$97 when I bought 3 and they were picture shows how they look like today, soft and full of mold.

I didn’t get the four chayotes I ordered, l got four tomatillos instead and was charged for the 4 chayotes. I guess the employee doesn’t know the difference between the two.
