Stars and Ripe

So I've been exploring Chinatown, which is adjacent to our new office. On my stroll today I came across the fruit stand that was selling star fruit...so I bought some. I didn't know how to pick out a ripe one so I just chose a few, ranging from green to yellow. After the fact, I found someone’s blog post about star fruit that tells you how to tell when this winter fruit is ripe. The photos are nice, too, what a cool looking fruit!
