Star Apple

Star apple is native to tropical America, but nowadays grown in many tropical countries.

Fruits of the star apple are eaten fresh. The round fruits are usually 6 or 7 cm in diameter. The color is purple or green and inside is very sweet whitish flesh. If you cut the fruit in halves it looks like a star.

Star apples are beautiful trees. The leaves are evergreen and their underside has a golden color.

The round purple skinned fruits have the size of a baseball. When cut the fruits show a core that looks like a star. The fruit contains a soft and sweet pulp. Embedded in the pulp are some flattened hard seeds.

Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

     You know how it is with some girls. They seem to take the stuffing right out of you. I mean to say, there is something about their personality that paralyses the vocal cords and reduces the contents of the brain to cauliflower.

     The smell of manure, of sun on foliage, of evaporating water, rose to my head; two steps farther, and I could look down into the vegetable garden enclosed within its tall pale of reeds - rich chocolate earth studded emerald green, frothed with the white of cauliflowers, jeweled with the purple globes of eggplant and the scarlet wealth of tomatoes.

Navel Orange

Fresh consumption is the best way to enjoy navel oranges, as they are typically eaten as a whole fruit. If juicing navel oranges, it's important to use the juice immediately. This is because navel oranges contain a compound called limonin, which can produce a bitter taste in the juice if left for too long.
