Read all about the Star Apple here on my website: inthekitchenwi...
In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt, I will show you how to eat a star apple as well as do a taste test. I also talk about where star apples come from and where they can grow. It is a very delicious and nutritious tropical fruit. A little hard to find here in the States, and chances are they will be expensive here. They are super cheap if not free in places like the Philippines. They are also known by the names of milk fruit, star plum, cainito or caimito, tar apple, purple star apple, golden leaf tree, and a few other names. On to the information!
What does Star Apple taste like?
It is hard to describe the unique flavor of the Star Apple. It is kind of like a mix between watered-down sweetened condensed milk, blueberries, and lychee or rambutan. Something along those lines. It is very juicy and refreshing tasting.

If you are eating from the shell without a spoon I suggest you rub some oil on your mouth so it won't be sticky. Very tasty fruit 😋 spent my childhood eating star apple everyday when it is in season

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

Good suggestion if you don't use a spoon. I always use a spoon lol

@tyasperwitasari 9 месяцев назад

Here in Indonesia,we call it sawo beludru,but there is no pink color close to the skin. The skin color is soft green. part that we eat is the white part also and the taste is soo good. Pretty easy to get it here on its season. My friend or neighbour sometimes gave it to me. Or sometimes you can buy it in traditional market...

@inthekitchenwithmatt 9 месяцев назад

Awesome!

I purchased a star apple yesterday at my local farmers market here in Hawaii. I have never eaten one. Last night I cut it open removed the seeds and cut it up into cubes and put it I. The freezer. This morning I put it in the blender to make my morning smoothie! Oops! I did not know you only eat the fleshy white part! We enjoyed the whole thing in a smoothie without the seeds of course! 😬

@inthekitchenwithmatt 2 года назад

Great idea putting it in a smoothie! :) :)

Can you die from eating the latex or skin?

@carmenross1077 3 года назад

Where do you get these fruit. I grew up with this fruit. We used to have a big tree in our farm. Where is it here in USA

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

I got them from my local Asian Supermarket. :)

@kma5699 8 месяцев назад

Bought 2 of these recently but they were mismarked as Passion Fruit. Cut open the first one expecting it to just be a large passion fruit. It was milky and hard seeds. Didn't seem sweet at all and the flesh was kind of mealy / slimy. The latex seemed like it was literally like glue, and dried my lips out. Was I slightly poisoned by eating that latex?

@inthekitchenwithmatt 8 месяцев назад

you should be okay if you only ate a little amount of the latex. But yeah with these you only want to eat the inside and not all the way to the edge.

@platterhof 3 года назад

The star apple (caimito) is not known yet in Spain, nor in Europe at all. Never tried it. I will see if I can find it next week in the market :P

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

Yeah, let me know if you can find it. If you have specific Asian markets there, try that. :)

I’m in Az but have it seen where to get a little tree

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

Tropica Mango sales them here in AZ, but it is East Valley, in Phoenix. So depending on where in AZ you live it may be a far drive. www.tropicamango.com/ you can also buy the tree at Shamus O'Leary's Tropicals www.greenlifebyshamusoleary.com/shop his nursery is in Phoenix. Looks like he has some in stock.

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

Thank you, so glad you like these videos. :) They are watched less frequently then my recipe videos. So nice to know that you like them, haha.

@APlus-qx7no 2 года назад

Just picked a half dozen of these from a friend's tree here in Hawaii. Had no idea they were so expensive and wastefully packaged!

@inthekitchenwithmatt 2 года назад

So expensive here on the mainland. I lived in the Philippines for a few years and they were so plentiful and cheap and even free sometimes there, haha.

@stevendavis8636 7 месяцев назад

Just ate one here in Philippines. Wow! I would never pay that much money for one. It cost about 10 or 20 cents here.

@inthekitchenwithmatt 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I remember when I lived in the Philippines these were everywhere. Growing on trees on the side of the road. Super cheap there.

@AsterInDis 2 года назад

I got one yesterday; the texture/taste reminds me of both lychee and mangosteen, though the flavor is much lighter.

Am in Maryland how can I get some

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

Hi you will need to look for an International Supermarket, they may sell them there. In Maryland, H-MART has locations in Catonsville, Ellicott City, Frederick, Gaithersburg, and Wheaton. If you are near any of those cities you can check to see if they sell them, or just search Asian or International Markets on Google to find one close to you.

Yep one of the different names for it! I had them in the Philippines as well when I lived there. I was there for two years in back in the late 1990s. If you look in the description box for this video I listed the other names it goes by. :)
