About Star apple
Star apple is the fruit commonly known by that English name, with a rounded shape and smooth skin that may be green or purple depending on cultivar. When ripe, it is typically cut open and the edible pulp is eaten fresh; the skin and seeds are not ordinarily eaten.
The pulp is soft, glossy and somewhat gelatinous, with a sweet, mild flavour. Fruit colour and texture vary among cultivars, and the pale or purplish pulp may be arranged in segments around the seeds. The name is sometimes applied inconsistently, so the intended fruit should be distinguished from similarly named fruits.
