it's pale green, pear-shaped, and very delicious. it grows very well here, and the bugs leave it alone, so it's my ONLY successful veggie garden crop. a couple of tips for prepping it... it's got this oozy kind of SAP that makes your hands sticky, so some people prepare it in a bowlful of water... or are very careful not to touch the inner parts while slicing. if the Chayote are young, you can sometimes eat the peel, but I prefer to scrape it off. inside the Chayote is a large seed at the center (smaller than an avocado pit, and pale green), I like to remove that, it doesn't taste very good. here's a photo of our Chayotes: Trellising the Chayote squash Our first Chayote, ready to pluck! I love Chayote, and eat it several times a week, steamed, sauteed julienned strips, in stir-fry, and in casseroles... it's an excellent vegetable all around. hope that helped!
