Can be stored at room temperature up to a week and in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The pulp can also<br \/>\nbe frozen. Blended pulp will set like jelly when stored in refrigerator.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"subhead\">Preparing\/serving:<\/span> Star apples must not be bitten into. The skin and rind are inedible. When opening a star apple, do not allow any of the bitter latex of the skin to contact the edible flesh. The ripe fruit, preferably chilled, may be cut in half and the flesh spooned out, leaving the seed cells and core. Cutting in half produces an attractive star pattern. Makes a nice drink when mixed with orange. Excellent in milkshakes.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"subhead\">Variety: <\/span>Purple (Haitian and Griemeil) and Green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STAR APPLE Chrysophyllum cainito Other names: Caimito, Cainito.
