Did you know?
A relative of starfruit but never sweet; high in oxalic acid, it is not eaten straight and instead serves as a souring agent in place of lemon, in pickles and curries. It grows in clusters directly on the trunk.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
