Chayote

I tried to figure out the name of it - Chayote, proper name...

It's looking like a pear-shaped fruit of the chayote plant, in the same family as melons, cucumbers and squash?

They are wrinkly with a thin skin that is fused with the white flesh, and relatively bland in taste...

I am so lucky as friend of mine has given me a box of them - She does know I "LOVE" cooking...it has to be shared!

I like to peel the skin off, and cut it into cubes of halves for soup usage...very healthy fruit?

Cheers with love and health...
