(VNF) - On the U.S Consul General – Ho Chi Minh city’s Facebook fanpage, Mary Tarnowka – US Consul General posted pictures of her enjoying star apple – which she said one of Vietnam’s most delicious fruits.

“just enjoyed one of Vietnam’s most delicious fruits. Can you guess what this fruit is? Star apple - the tennis-ball-sized fruit will appear in grocery stores in the U.S. soon,’’ said Mary Tarnowka.

‘’Cut the fruit into halves and you will see a star-like structure – that is the origin of the fruit’s name. The excitement lies both in the fruit’s taste and texture. The fruit combines a thick milky juice with a sticky sweet flesh. Soon, Americans in the U.S. will also start squeezing purple and green Star apples and enjoying their juicy goodness.’’
