Quê Hương Frozen Star Apple

Quê Hương Frozen Star Apple is the tropical fruit Vietnamese families call vú sữa, meaning milk from the breast, named for its sweet, milky juice. Beneath the smooth skin sits soft, translucent pulp that is delicately sweet and floral, with a creamy, almost custard-like texture, arranged in the gentle star pattern that gives the fruit its English name.

Star apple is best enjoyed cold and simple. Let the fruit thaw until just soft, then halve it and scoop the pulp directly from the skin with a spoon, leaving the bitter peel behind. The chilled pulp is lovely on its own, spooned over shaved ice as a refreshing dessert, or blended into smoothies and sweet drinks.

This product is sold by the piece, available as 1, 2, or 3 whole fruits per pack, so you can buy just what you need. Keep the fruit frozen until you plan to eat it, then thaw in the refrigerator. Inside is whole star apple fruit with the skin on, frozen at ripeness with nothing added.
