fruit review #70: star gooseberry/starberry

despite the name, these are not gooseberries. They are crisp small star shaped (sort of, 6-8 sides) berries that have one stone inside. I’d compare the texture to a crisp and very juicy apple. These berries are usually not eaten plain because they have a strong tannin/ astringent flavor. I have never had them as an ingredient in other dishes before, so I can’t vouch to the flavor in those cases.
