Prickly chayote is small to medium in size, averaging 10-20 centimeters in length, and has a pear-like shape with deep linear indentations, folds, or puckers and many green-gold spines covering the surface. The number of spines will increase as the squash matures on the vine and the pale green rind is firm and is often discarded because of its tough nature. The creamy white flesh is crisp, and the central core contains one small, flat, edible, and light tan seed. Prickly chayote squash is crunchy and mild with a light, sweet flavor similar to a cucumber. Plus, it is high in potassium, magnesium, folate, and also contains vitamin C and B6. This chayote can be roasted and added to soups, curries, and stews, grilled and served as an accompaniment to main courses featuring pork and poultry, deep fried, or used to make pickles and chutneys.
