Today's #FruitFacts are all about the Chayote! Chayote belongs to the same family as squash, melons, and cucumbers and is native to Mexico. This fruit can be eaten raw and can be used to make salsa or salad. It is often marinated in lime or lemon juice before being lightly cooked. The skin does not need to be removed prior to cooking, as it helps keep the texture of the fruit.
