I take off the peel, and take out the seed in the center with a paring knife, and give those parts to the chickens.

some people do eat the peel, and some don't, kind of like apples, depends on the variety, and the age, the peel gets tougher as it gets older, like zuchinni.

I've never juiced them, just cooked 'em.

good luck with whatever you choose!

Lightbulb finally went off.

I know this is a VERY old thread but was going through all the recipes again that have been posted in this forum and came across this one about Chayote again. I'd never looked at it closely until today and just figured out what we call it here.

It's a Choko here. Grow like anything. lol They're the vegetable everyone always tries to give away because they don't want them all. I like choko but they don't have much taste at all to me. Have the texture of pears. In fact years ago people used to say that a lot of the canned pears had choko in them here.

I wonder how the juicing went?! Not sure I could deal with that lol

Choko is no joke

Wow, this thread was from 2008. I don't even remember posting this. I've never bought another one. I now sprout all my food. I do microgreens too. Go on youtube and look for videos by eliz7212. You'll see that I grow food in my living room on trays. Best thing I have ever done. So cool.

G'day there Melody!
Say your name and there you are!

Have missed seeing you around.

I've checked out a lot of your vids. Must look again. Thanks. I'm looking for yummy healthy ideas for my grown daughter. Sprouting etc. might be a good thing for her.

I was also just looking at the truelemon site you posted ages back. Some good recipes in there even if we might not have that product here.

Could just adapt these by using limes, or oranges or lemons. Neat!

If you really want to laugh, yesterday I made a True Orange Pie. I went on their facebook page, saw a recipe for True Lime Key Lime Pie. I then said "I have True Orange packets in the house (the recipe calls for 8 packets). I have 100 in a box. I said 'Let me see if I can make a True Orange Pie"

Look at my husband's reaction. This was a sugar free pie. It was FABULOUS.
