is very famous in Mauritius and Native to other Countries like India, Sri Lanka
and Indonesia,..specially known as Superfruits its is very good for its Vatamin C,
Bright coloured, Vivid green to Bright Yellow and very particular in Shapes(STAR).
It's best to consume a Starfruit when ripe. An unripe fruit will appear bright green,
while a ripe Starfruit will display colors of bright yellow with a light shade of green.
They also do Pickles in Mauritius, very tasty, try some when having a visit to
MAURITIUS....

Guyava (Chinese Guayava)


This particular guayava is origin from China (of course), well its really a nice
guayava type because in Mauritius we make JAM with this, yes jam made of this
Redish fruit, you boil it in hot water for about 20 mins, let boil for more
10 mins let the boiling water dry a bit, after that remove and let cool down,
Filter & squeeze all the peels and seeds with a piece of cloths,then add sugar
let cool and your sweet Guayava jam is ready...lots of people like this guayava
