Star fruit is new to our house.
I have been seeing it at the grocery, and decided last night to give it a try.
You don't peel it, just wash it with cold water, slice it, and enjoy.
Reading more about it in my free time (ha!) turns out it's a great choice too!
It's a tropical fruit that is rich in Vitamin C, A, fiber, and potassium.
It has a Nu Val score of 100!
(let me just say, I thought an idea just like Nu Val a few years ago, and then these nutritionist and doctors come up with the same thought! Great minds must think alike)
Riley gave it a thumbs up!
Although Raigan's face looks like she could have taken it or left it, she did eat a lot, so I'm assuming that she enjoyed it too!
It's so fun for kids because it's in the shape of a star!
Looks like a fun fruit. I have seen it in the store but just haven't found the courage to try it yet. Now maybe I will.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've had this fruit maybe twice and it's been a looooong time ago! I should pick one up at the grocery store the next time I go. I know my kids haven't tried it yet, and who knows, they could be really missing out on something they love!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the star fruit... did you get it in a regular store? That's awesome that it has vitamin C, A, fiber and potassium. Now I am going to have to go out looking for it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep, just at our local grocery, they started carrying them just about a month ago though. I forgot to say too that they have the texture of an apple and kind of taste like a plum!
ReplyDeleteHi Meg! Yes, the Goodbyns are wonderful. If you join their facebook site, there have been some wonderful deals recently, such as $8 off. And they are making some new products--one I think might be a smaller, preschool version for kids who are only away for a few hours. These ones are very large--if I stuffed it full it would feed our 13 year old for the day! You might even be able to find them at a store near you--since we're Canadian, I had to have them shipped.
ReplyDeleteOur house likes apples and plums so I think we will give this a try. Thanks for the tip!!
