My daughter has actually been asking to try starfruit for a while. She's seen it in the grocery store, but I've been hesitant to buy it because they typically look like they've been sitting there for a while.
The other day, they must have (finally) gotten a new shipment and they looked fairly fresh, so I bought one, sliced it up and put it in my daughter's lunch as a surprise.
Here's her review: "It was really good. It was so sweet. There were some black parts on the edges that I had to cut off."
No one else got to try it because the boys were sick, and since she requested, I just gave it all to her. I didn't even try any myself. I had it once or twice a long time ago, but I remember it as being sour...
My family lived in Nicaragua for a few years, and we ate a lot of starfruit! It is very sweet, and such a pretty shape!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I bet they're even better when they are fresh!
