About Star apple fruit

Star apple fruit is the rounded fruit commonly sold under the name star apple. Its smooth skin may be green or purple according to cultivar, and it is generally opened and eaten ripe, with the soft inner pulp separated from the skin and seeds.

The edible pulp is glossy and tender, with a mildly sweet flavour and a somewhat jelly-like consistency. Its colour may be pale or purplish, and the arrangement of pulp around the seeds can give a star-like pattern in cross-section. Cultivar and ripeness influence the fruit’s appearance and texture.
