Chayote Candle
We do not currently offer shipping. Order for pickup at 185 Queen St E, Toronto.
Chayote is a thin-skinned squash originally from Mexico. A member of the gourd family, it is technically a fruit but is eaten like a vegetable. All parts of the gourd are edible, including the seeds, skin, and flowers. The chayote’s pale green flesh is crisp when raw and softens when cooked. It is beloved for its cucumber-like mild, cool, and slightly sweet flavour. We are pleased to offer this unique fruit in candle form!
Scent:
Crisp cucumber complemented by fresh bluebells and lilies give this candle an intoxicating scent. These candles are lightly scented using high quality fragrance oils.
Made in Canada of 100% natural soy wax.
Candles are coloured using dye and contain fragrance oils (if scented). Take care if placing the candle directly on surfaces without using a plate as it may leave a mark.
Dimensions:
Candle measures H: 7cm W: 10cm and weighs 300g.
- Trim wick to 1/4" before each lighting.
- Protect surface underneath the candle with a coaster.
- Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunnelling.
- Wick should always remain centred and away from the sides of the vessel.
- Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets. Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.
- Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.
