Taking An Attitude
I came across this beautiful, fresh, and luscious looking star fruits at Meijer last week. I couldn't help myself but taking a couple of snaps, and drooling. (Yikes, I said it out loud!)While grew up in VN, as a child we ate star fruits when they were in season. I remembered them as having the combination of sweet and sour all the same, and we also used star fruits to make salad or in cooking.
I was about to list a load of health benefits, but I will spare you this painful part of reading. I have come to conclusion that all fresh fruits and food are good for you in one way or another.
So let's move on and put a lid on "10 super food" this and that. There are so many articles on every single fruit there is on earth about its amazing benefits that it bored me so.
So my questions are:
1) Have you ever eaten star fruits before?
2) Have you ever come across a fruit that is bad for you?
Time to join Thursday2Questions!
I've had these star fruit as a child but not a fan. Your photo looks beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteAll fruit must be good! The national fruit of Jamaica the Ackee is poisonous if eaten before the pods have fully ripened.
Star fruits are simply too common to me.
ReplyDeleteSo juicy, and sweet.
Icy, I ate it once and it gave me a tummy ache. Maybe it was a coincidence? They sure are pretty and I have tried many new foods and loved them.
ReplyDeleteI think that all natural foods, key word natural are healthy in varying degrees but we need to eat a variety.
In our dialect I think we call them "balimbing," smiling here because I don't recall tasting them...I was told they are sweet-sour and I am not such a fan of sour things haha, but yes I agree they do contain a lot of vitamins which reminds me to eat some soon! ...a fruit that isn't good for us? I can't think of any! A friend and I were discussing earlier about taking in vitamins naturally by ingesting fruits instead of taking in supplements...these days we ought to protect our cells from the damaging effect of unnatural or processed food...let's eat to good health! thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteThese actually look really good!

Icy, I have never had star fruit that I can remember. I think all fruit is good for you in one way or another. I eat fruit daily now and I feel great.
ReplyDeleteI have had star fruit, they are so good when you get the right one. yes, there are fruits that just makes me sick. I can't remember which one now though. hehe
ReplyDeleteOh I love fruits but I am not sure I've eaten star fruits. I'm wondering if it's the same thing I eat in my country but it's call star apples.
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet come across a bad fruit...unless it incites an allergic reaction.
Happy weekend to you!
Wonderful capture of the star fruit. I have never eaten it. Do not remember seeing it here in India. I love to eat fresh fruits though, they are so much better then eating junk. Have a lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI've had start fruit a few times and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. At one level of ripeness it had a bitter-sweet flavor that was very tasty. The other two times I had it, it was too bitter for me.
ReplyDeleteI've never met a fruit I didn't like, or heard of one that was not good for us. I know, that some people think fruit juice isn't that good for us, but I have no idea why...
