Locally we call it kaimito. 
It’s best eaten cold from the ref. In the province, neighbors give this for free. Star Apple is a fruit that grows in the tropics including Southeast Asia. We harvest them around March and April. A kilo (around five pieces) costs P70.00.
Aside from being a tasty dessert, it has several health benefits too. It contains vitamins A, B, C, lysine, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, dietary fiber, amino acids, methionine, and protein. It has minerals such as iron, copper, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, and potassium.
Kaimito, anyone?

I have never seen those here. They would be classed as ‘exotic fruits’, and no doubt expensive.
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes, please. I love fruit of any variety. It’s disappointing that I can’t try these here. My mom is from Indonesia, so I’ll have to ask her about these. 🙂 Thanks for the photo too, Arlene. Have a great week!
