Star apple is a delicious and exotic fruit. It is important to note that the skin, rind, and seeds are inedible and should be discarded. The flesh around the seeds is the only portion of the fruit consumed and has a mild, sweet, and delicate flavor reminiscent of lychee, custard, and vanilla.


Star apple, also known as Caimito, is a tropical fruit with a glossy, leathery skin that is dark purple and green in color. The flesh is white, creamy, and juicy, with a sweet flavor that is sometimes described as similar to custard or vanilla. It is commonly eaten fresh as a dessert fruit, and it can also be used in smoothies, jams, and other sweet dishes.

The seeds and milky sap of the fruit can be harmful in large amounts, so it is important to use caution when handling and consuming the fruit.
