Hey,
This Seasonal Sunday, let’s shine a light on starfruit (also known as carambola), a crisp, tangy fruit that adds a tropical twist to any plant-based plate.
Seasonal Spotlight
Starfruit is in season June through April, with peak availability in late summer and mid-winter. Though native to Southeast Asia and grown in subtropical areas, it’s commonly found in grocery stores, produce sections and markets across the country during these times.
Why It’s Worth It
- Crisp texture with sweet-tart notes of grape and green plum
- Packed with vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants
- Naturally star-shaped slices that brighten any dish
How to Enjoy
To make star-shaped slices, wash the fruit, trim the ends and cut crosswise into ½-inch thick rounds. That’s it, the skin and seeds are edible, so everything goes straight onto your plate.
Let this uniquely beautiful fruit bring a little sunshine and sparkle to your Sunday table.
Wishing you a crisp, seasonal and stunning Sunday!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
