Notes
I'm not a medical professional, but according to my research, starfruit may not be appropriate for individuals who have impaired kidneys. Even the American Kidney Foundation suggests that dialysis patients should avoid starfruit altogether!
Such a pretty fruit!! Always wondered what to do with them. Juicing is a great idea, and I especially like the cocktail.with coconut rum. YUM!!
Looks yummy. I wonder if it might make a good cocktail, too, with some coconut rum or vodka. I love how you used it to decorate the glass.
Ooh, I think coconut run or some vodka would be a nice addition! This is such a tasty fruit – it’s fun to experiment with it 🙂
Brilliant! I have a neighbor who puts a basket of them by her driveway all the time for everyone to help themselves. Her tree is always loaded and she doesn’t like them to rot on the ground. I might grab one to slice over a fruit salad, but it never crossed my mind to throw them in the juicer! mmmmmm. I’ll have to share a glass with her.
I hope you give it a try! Starfruit juice is good on its own, but it’s especially tasty with a hint of ginger. Maybe some orange mixed in would be yummy, too 🙂
