The chayote is in the squash family and like its cousin, the zucchini, is dense and mild flavored. Peel the spines off and enjoy the flesh of the fruit either raw, sliced thin and made tender with lime juice or salt, or steamed, boiled, baked or grilled.

This mild, sweet-tart fruit originated in Ancient Persia and was brought to California by Spanish settlers in 1769. Pomegranates are delicious in sauces, dressings and salad, as well as eating fresh. You know it’s autumn when this fruit first appears! (4-5 per bag)
