When cut across, star fruit shows a 5-point star. It's an attractive fruit. In Nicaragua they're called melocotón--the Spanish word for peach.
In Jinotega I bought a bag of nine star fruit for twenty-two cents. I ate one--it tasted something like a bad grapefruit--and gave the others to a friend. Later, I read that those with kidney trouble, high cholesterol, diabetic problems, those taking statin medication...should avoid star fruit.
I'm buying bananas....
