When it is sliced crosswise, the slices are is shaped like stars, thus its common name.This fragrant fruit is small and oval-shaped ranging from 3 to 5 inches long with four to six deep lengthwise grooves. It has an edible thin, waxy bright yellow skin and sweet, juicy almost translucent yellow flesh. Its interesting shape makes it attractive for fruit baskets, salads and as a garnish for Beverages and meat. Its taste is similar to a combination of lemon, pineapple and apple.

The tastes between the two are hardly distinguishable, as the tart variety still has some sweetness.
