    What's the story

    The African star apple, or as we call it agbalumo or udara (in West Africa) is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals.

    Its unique sweet and tangy flavor complements both sweet and savory dishes, providing a taste adventure for your palate.

    Discover five ways to incorporate the African star apple into your culinary creations for an exotic twist.

    Salad

    Create a refreshing star apple salad

    One of the easiest and tastiest ways to savor the African star apple is by making a refreshing salad.

    Dice the fruit into bite-sized pieces and combine it with other tropical fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and bananas.

    Toss in a handful of chopped mint leaves for that extra burst of freshness.

    Voila! You have a simple yet delicious salad that's perfect for a light and healthy meal.

    Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming touch.
