Jamoona Fresh - Star Apple (500g to 700g) (Milk Fruit / Cainito)

Jamoona - Fresh Star Apple (Cainito) is a rare tropical gem from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, named for the stunning star pattern revealed when you slice through its deep purple, velvet-smooth skin. The flesh is milky white, almost custard-like, with a gentle sweetness that recalls grape and persimmon in the same breath.

• Deep purple skin, ivory star-patterned flesh
• Custard-soft texture when fully ripe
• Mildly sweet with subtle grape-like notes
• Tropical fresh fruit, no additives

At peak ripeness, the skin yields gently to pressure and the flesh inside is cool, soft, and almost jelly-like around the seeds — a texture unlike any other tropical fruit. The milk-white sap settles into a coating around each bite that makes it feel indulgent and soothing at once.

Culinary Application

Scoop the flesh straight from the halved fruit with a spoon for the most traditional experience. Blend into tropical smoothies with coconut milk and pineapple, or serve chilled alongside other exotic fruits on a dessert platter. A favourite in Filipino and Caribbean households as a simple after-dinner fruit.
