What is this food?
Star apple (purple), a sweet, juicy fruit. For 100g, it has about 80 kcal, 17.4g carbohydrates, and 3g dietary fiber.
Why it matters to health
Star apple can help you feel full because of its dietary fiber (3g per 100g), which supports regular digestion. It also provides natural sugars (11.2g), so it’s a good fruit choice when you pair it with balanced meals and snacks. The fat is very low (0.6g), but it has some saturated fat (0.22g), so keeping portions reasonable helps you stay on track. Sodium is low (9mg), which is generally good for everyday eating.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a snack: try a small bowl (about 100–150g) between meals instead of replacing full meals.
- Pair with protein or healthy fat for better balance (e.g., star apple with plain yogurt or a small handful of nuts).
- If you’re watching sugar, enjoy it but keep portions steady—fruit is still best when spread across the day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks).
- Choose fresh over sugary drinks or desserts to keep added sugar low.
Common Filipino dishes
None—star apple is usually eaten as a fresh fruit or as part of fruit platters, halo-halo toppings, or fruit salads
