Important Information About
Star Fruit
Your Star Fruit will arrive close to or at peak ripeness. Star Fruit is enjoyable to eat when it is mostly yellow, up until it has some browning on the edges—the browning just means it’s getting sweeter (like a banana) and juicier. If any of your Star Fruit are slightly green, allow to ripen as needed. In addition to the color, you can tell Star Fruit is ripe when it gives a little as you apply gentle pressure with your thumb. It is still delicious when slightly under-ripe (yellow-green), however its flavor will be more citrusy, and its texture more crunchy. We recommend you enjoy your Star Fruit in any stage of ripeness.
WARNING: People with kidney issues should NOT consume Star Fruit.
Star Fruit can be enjoyed fresh out of hand as a snack or sliced into garnishes for a salad. They make delicious juice and refreshing popsicles. They are also a great dehydrated fruit snack.
Treat this Star Fruit like a ripe tomato. We recommend not refrigerating your Star Fruit unless you cannot consume it within 5 days. Star Fruit can sit at room temperature on the countertop for 1-5 days . Turn the Star Fruit often as the fine edges can be fragile. Store until they are yellow in color and the edges are slightly brown. However, ripe Star Fruit is highly perishable and will only store in the fridge for 1-2 days after ripening.

Paradise Farm's
Since its establishment in 1999, this abandoned avocado grove has become a flourishing 17-acre, certified organic farm, dedicated to regenerative farming principles.
Its lush edible landscape is the result of rich soil and an ideal tropical climate for growing heirloom varietals, locally cultivated tropical varietals and herbs. Local chefs in the Greater Miami area and beyond source their specialty produce from Paradise, choosing from a variety of edible flowers (67!), medicinal herbs, specialty microgreens, mushrooms and tropical fruits.
