In the North, star fruit is a very familiar fruit in the summer. When mentioning star fruit, people immediately think of a bowl of cool star fruit vinegar soup, a glass of sweet, sour, crunchy star fruit juice - That is the star fruit of summer.

In autumn, the ripe star fruit is golden yellow, has a sweet and slightly sour taste, very pleasant, not as sour as green star fruit.
