How to Choose a Ripe Star Fruit:
When ripe, star fruit appears mainly bright yellow with tinges of light green. They may have some dark brown along the five ridges—this is normal. The flesh should still be quite firm to the touch. You can also buy star fruit when it’s green and wait for it to ripen—just leave it on your counter for a few days. When over-ripe, star fruit turns entirely yellow and starts to have brown spots all over.
Nice to eat fresh, but also delicious cooked or juiced, star fruit is truly one of nature’s starry-eyed wonders!
