They kind of look like they could be fun little bite sized snacks for kids to eat! It’s so hard to get kids to eat all the fruit they need, and these could be super fun.

Nope Miracle Fruit is more red and the green is not star shaped. Anyway, this is a cool berry as well

They look like little Tamarillos, a fruit grown in South America. The one’s I bought were slightly larger, and orange, but I know they do come in red -so maybe white and smaller. The seeds sound the same too.

The one’s I bought tasted like the spawn of a marriage between a tomato and passionfruit. I am posting a recipe with them next post! And I have pics too.

Wow Sunita thank you for all that information. I just have to come to you when I plan to revive my window plants. Wine sounds like such a fun thing to make out of karondas. Now that you mentioned it turns purple and mushy, karondas makes perfect sense!

Hi Coco, great blog … delish!
Those fruits are locally known as ‘karondas’ though we always called it damson. I’m sure its the same plant because I grow this in my garden but I’m not too sure of the English name we dubbed it with. I’ll find out for you though.
The flesh is very firm with crisp ‘bite’ when they’re immature and have some sticky white stuff which stains like nobody’s business. When ripe they turn purple and soft with a tart juice which we used to pretend was blood when playing as kids.
Here’s a tip,next time make sure you dont bite into the seeds… thats what gives it that weird taste.
Oh, and they’re fantastic for making wine!

Hi Coco,

Thanks for your recent comment on Rasa Malaysia. I am just popping in to say hello. These little berries are so cute and colorful. I love the colors, a little white and red. Purty.
