Isn't it pretty? I've been trying to broaden my horizons in the food world for some time. I used to be super picky with whatever I was eating. In high school, I would have dance class later in the day as well as work, so my meals would usually consist of hot pockets and whatever junk was around the house. I didn't eat nearly enough food that grew out of the ground. All in all, I had terrible eating habits.
Somewhere in college, I decided I wanted more out of my food experiences. Unfortunately, I didn't have a kitchen and had to settle for crappy food court meals. Now, I have a choice. Choice is good.
I saw some starfruit at Wegmans one day and decided I hadn't tried anything new in a while. It looked cool and I couldn't resist. I bought it home and wanted to eat it, but I realized I didn't really know what to do with it. Sadly, I googled how to eat this bad boy.
Turns out, it's a lot like a star-shaped apple, both in texture and taste. I sliced off the ends and cut the tips of the corners off since they were starting to brown a bit. After that, I sliced them all up into awesome little stars. Then, I picked the seeds out of the center which are also very similar to apples.
This fruit is super tasty. It's nice and juicy and has a taste similar to a sweet apple. I'm usually really weird about textures and certain fruits are always what I have a problem eating. This I was able to handle though. Sadly, I probably won't be seeing this fruit around much in stores for too long. Tropical fruit usually comes and goes from Wegmans.
I definitely need to broaden my fruit horizons. There are three things I REALLY want to try:
Dragonfruit
Young Coconuts
Blood Oranges
...Anyone have any suggestions?
