What Is Chayote?

Chayote is a tropical vegetable that originated in Mexico and Central America. It’s often mistaken as a fruit, even though it is a member of the gourd family.

Texture-wise, chayote is like jicama. When ripe, the pear-shaped vegetable is sweet and is a suitable substitute for apples in many common recipes, like this one for a Kale Apple Sunflower Salad. Many who’ve tried it say its taste lands between a potato, an apple or a crisp pear. Yum!
