Edgy Veg

Dear friends we are well aware that a chayote is not a fruit. The slang term is vegetable pear. Please calm your panties 😅😅😅
Receipts below 😘🙃

This is no complaint, just an observation: Technically, many things that are, from a Botanical perspective, fruit are indeed used as vegetables; tomatoes and bell peppers being two excellent examples. The chayote is indeed a fruit, in that it is what develops from the ovary of the flower, and contains the seeds. That said, I really don't care what people call something when they're adding it to what they make. If someone says, after eating a marinara, that they have had their vegetables, I don't bother to "correct" them. Unless you are a Biology major of some flavour, feel free to call them whatever you like.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato (Or in this case a chayote) Is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing Not to add it to the fruit salad. Many fruits where part of their name is -berry Aren't berries by their botanical definition too

Chayotes are awesome we eat them a lot here in Mèxico and we prepar different dishes with it. I love it just steam with a little of vegan butter, salt and a little bit of vegan cheese like Parmesan

I live in Louisiana and we use them all the time! Smothered down with onions (usually). And, those who are not vegan/vegetarian also cook them with ground beef. But, seriously that’s what crazy folks are getting themselves in an uproar about? People GET A LIFE!!!! Thanks for all the super great content Candice!!! ❤️❤️❤️

It is a fruit because it grows from the flowers.

😆 I knew what it was right away and I just thought calling it a pear was a English or Canadian thin

I had no idea what a chayote was in the first place. Maybe in the coyote family?

rule of thumb is... if it has seeds, it's technically a fruit.
