Star Fruit

This is a "Star Fruit" Tree. At first, the fruit
looks like a big green leaf on the tree, but then
it begins to ripen and turn yellow. Then it
becomes like big yellow ornaments on the tree...
tons of them!

This is another one of the many fruit trees in our yard
that I am able to pick fresh fruit from every day.

The whole fruit can be eaten.
When sliced, it has the shape of a five pointed star...
hence it's name.
It's flavor is crisp and juicy and sweet,
but not overwhelmingly sweet.
I eat it just plain like this, or sometimes I use
the fruit to make a smoothie.
If you ever see one in the market, be sure and try it!
