Today, my mom and I rushed to Crest to get some last-minute groceries. While we were there, we stumbled upon some star-fruits, pomegranates, and coconuts. These three fruits were exotic to me because I’ve never tasted any of them. I then asked mom if we could get one, and she said yes, so I brought a star-fruit with us. At the checkout, the lady there was all-like “Star-fruit?” and mom was all-like “Yeah, HE wanted to try one” and just made it sound like I was the weird one! Well, I’m not! I’m actually really normal. If Julia says anything against that, pretend you didn’t hear it. Anyways, we then drove home and unloaded our groceries. I was really anxious to try my new fruit, so I got on the internet and looked up, “How to prepare starfruit.” Instantly, all of the links that included the word “Starfruit” in them. I clicked on one that looked promising, and it was! I got all sorts of useful information about where they are grown, what they’re good for, and how to serve them. First, you cut off the edges. Then, you chop off the “head.” Last, you slice the fruit as thick/thin as you want to. It tasted like a green apple, but mine was mostly green, so it wasn’t quite ripe. The texture was like a cucumber, but it smelled like a kiwi. Weird, huh? THE END.
