Image: 1 My pencil sketch of a starfruit
Shaped like one as named
Starfruit star shaped thou so blessed
One so succulent
Crunchy and so sweet
Taken raw or plain juicing
Vitamin C rich
High water content
To quench the thirst so ideal
Enticing health-wise
Is good for the heart
Not seasonal by nature
Seen throughout the year
you know...i have seen them in stores on occassion but never tried one...will have to keep my eyes out...nice description hank...and nice sketch...
ReplyDeleteTry it Brian! It tastes like pear and more water laden. Maybe more like water-melon in water content.

I always have doubts about things that seem just too goody-goody...
ReplyDeleteCosmos,
DeleteIt is just another fruit like apples and pears. It's ok!
Hank
Your post made me think of it... I miss it... I haven't seen one here in Canada yet. We have i think two trees at the back of the house Pareng Hank.

I like them, and I've seen them in our stores, but I just wish I could tell when they're ripe.
ReplyDeleteK
Kay,
ReplyDeleteYou are right. An unripe one is sourish. But those in shops are bound to be ripe.
Hank
