Subject: [nafex] Star Fruit?


> Hi everyone.
>
> The local Military Commissary (I am retired Navy) sells what they call
"star
> fruit".  The fruit viewed from the end is star shaped with five points and
> lobes.  It is about 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches long.  It is
yellowish
> green in color with the exception of the ribs which are brown.  It has few
> dark brown seeds.  It is very juicy and has a very mild almost banana -
> almost citrus flavor. It was on sale 5 for $1.00 so the price is right.  I
> like the flavor and will be buying more.  Outside of the above info I
don't
> know anything about this fruit.  Any help?
