Chayote leaves are crisp and juicy with a mild, sweet, and grassy flavor with mellow undertones of cucumber. Chayote leaves are best suited for cooked applications such as boiling, stir-frying, baking, steaming, and sautéing. They are commonly added to salads, soups, and chop suey. They can also be sautéed or stir-fried as a vegetable side dish or combined with other ingredients and made into dumplings.
