The thing is that some beans stink when they sprout (mung beans, I'm looking at you). You may have also had a bacterial infection. Good luck on the next go round! I love sprouts as well.

And how do I eat it? - Chayotes by Julia http://reversemonster.org/RAW/wtf-is-this-and-how-do-i-eat-it-chayotes#comment-78 Julia Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:07:51 +0000 http://reversemonster.org/RAW/wtf-is-this-and-how-do-i-eat-it-chayotes#comment-78 I highly recommend baking the chayote - though maybe from the title of your blog that isn't your thing? If it is, I found a bunch of recipes here: http://www.nikibone.com/recipe/chayote.html Simple baked chayote is what I have had in the Yucatan and it is delish! This is one of those veggies that you can use as a base to layer flavors to, but I like the mildness of it alone as well. Here's a recipe that sounded particularly good to me, which I'm hoping to get to this week: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chayote-Soup/Detail.aspx Have fun!

If it is a fuya persimmon and not a hachiya, then I'd better let ShopRite know they are labeling their produce incorrectly! LOL! I am not sure, they was super duper ripe by the time I bought them, overflowing with gushy goodness when I cut them open, so it is hard to tell if it was bitter when it was less ripe. I will have to search for them in another market and see what I find. Thanks for the comment! Hey thanks Christy, this is all new territory to me.

Fuyu can be eaten when they are hard or soft, but hachiya have to be feel like a water balloon to the touch to be ripe enough to eat. I wanted to let you know what type you got, in case you want to find them again sometime. I work at my husband's family's orchard in Granite Bay, CA, where we have many types of persimmons. We also make hoshigaki from peeled hachiya persimmons. Take care, Christy Hello,

Look for Mayan recipes on the web and try your creativity on adapting their soup recipe into a raw version. I had Chayote soup in the Yukatan last month for the first time; it was very yummy.

Split it open length-wise and scoop out the hard center. Throw hard center away. Gently slice out the remaining flesh and cut up in small cubes. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, a dab of thick cream, salt & pepper. Scoop back into the hollowed-out chayote and voilá!
