Green chayotes, also known as chayote squash or vegetable pear, are a type of gourd belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. Here's a description of green chayotes:
-
Appearance: Green chayotes are pear-shaped with wrinkled, pale green skin. They typically have a slightly flattened bottom and a narrow, elongated neck that widens towards the top. The skin may have slight ridges or bumps, and it's often smooth and shiny when fresh.
-
Texture: The texture of green chayotes is crisp and firm when raw, similar to a cucumber or a green apple. However, when cooked, they become tender and slightly creamy, with a texture that's reminiscent of cooked summer squash.
