Organic Chayote Squash (3 for $5)

Chayote squash is a light‑green, pear‑shaped squash with a crisp bite and a clean, mild flavor that lands somewhere between cucumber, pear, and zucchini. Its tender flesh and edible skin make it incredibly versatile.  It is great shaved raw into salads, simmered into soups, or sautéed until just soft. Because it absorbs seasoning beautifully, chayote slips easily into both bright, fresh dishes and warm, comforting ones, adding gentle sweetness and a refreshing crunch.
