Chayote (aka vegetable pear or mirliton) is a type of summer squash. It has a crisp and crunchy texture, like an apple, but with a mild refreshing flavor similiar to a zesty cucumber. Similar to other fruits, chayote is high in antioxidants and vitamins — specifically vitamin B, vitamin C, potassium, and amino acids. It has a super impressive nutrition profile, too: One chayote (~203 grams) has just 39 calories, .3 grams of fat, and 9 grams carbohydrates
Great for eating raw or adding to cooked dishes.

IE Carrots are about .3 pounds each so 1 carrot is likely to weigh more than 1/4 pound. This means when you purchase (1) 1/4th it is likely going to be 1 piece of produce and in some cases, like cucumbers or sweet potatoes which are very heavy with water it's less than 1 piece of produce which we do not offer and you will be refunded your purchase price or the price will be put towards larger portions of other items ordered.
Keep size in mind when purchasing.
