Star Fruit

Store at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate. Can become soft and spotty quickly.

Wash the star fruit thoroughly before eating.

Trim the thin brown edges of the ridges for a cleaner look.

It's edible skin and all, though some prefer to remove the seeds.

Slice crosswise to reveal the star shape. Perfect for garnishes.

Enjoy fresh, in fruit salads, smoothies, or as a topping for desserts and yogurt.
