11. Star Fruit: The Celestial Beauty
Tropical fruit salads benefit from star fruit's unusual taste profile and visual attractiveness as well as from its crisp texture and shape. Its sweet-tart taste offers a cool crunch and balances the complicated flavour of snake fruit. Star fruit sliced crosswise produces lovely star-shaped bits that accentuate the salad's dramatic visual appeal. Select hardy fruits with minimum brown edges and a brilliant yellow colour. High vitamin C and antioxidant levels in star fruit help to add to the salad's nutritional worth. While its unique taste gives the blend an interesting touch, its waxy skin helps it stay fresher than many other fruits. Natural juices of the fruit mix nicely with other tropical fruits to produce a harmonic flavour mix that improves the whole taste sensation.
