Happy Monday Everybody!
Excited to post on this fine and foggy morning!
Lots of people dread Mondays. They coffee is cold, or traffic makes them late, or their socks don’t match.
I. Love. Mondays.
First I’m happy for another day on this beautiful planet bursting with life and inspiration.
#fruitsandveggiesmonday allows us the chance to stop and smell the roses, literally. We get to start our “week” by admiring some pretty special species, particularly ones that provide our bodies with tons of minerals and healthy stuffs.
So thank you to @lenasveganliving @plantstoplanks and the veggie community for an opportunity to be grateful for the small stuffs!
On to the post:
I left early to the burbs this morning and as I’m having time to kill, remembered this fine contest and was without any photos of fruits or veggies.
Done dug up a frame of my favorite fruit, a starfruit. They’re a native to Asia with an awesome shape and even better sweet-sour flavor.
They’re actually called averrhoa carambola but they’re nicknamed for their five point shape. My favorite part about them is the Vitamin C content, each of these babies contains 52% of our daily needs of vitamin c. For a fruit, that’s not a ton of Vitamin C: lots of other fruit has much much more.... but it’s enough that so if you combine with an iron rich food you’ll absorb the iron straight away:)
Also this food is great because it’s been used Ayurvedic medicine to treat many diseases. Honestly any food with any antioxidant flavinoid is going to have healing properties when consumed raw:) apparently it’s not good for people with kidney disease or disorder. I’m no doctors but strongly abide by “everything in moderation”.
This food typically fits in the palm of my hand, and for picture’s sake cuts beautifully but I prefer to bite straight into it! Yummy...
I saved the seeds from my last fruit so pray that they sprout this sanctimonious spring season:)
Hope your Monday is as macrocosmic as this stellar star fruit. ;)

Happy to see you jump in again! It really does make the week start out on a high note seeing all the beautiful goodies everyone shares. I don't get these very often, but star fruit is delicious. Always fun to see when yummy food is so good for us, as well! You'll have to report back if your seeds sprout. That would be wonderful to be able to grow some of your own. Happy Monday!
I usually buy the star fruit to decorate my smoothie bowl when I am taking photos, unfortunately, those we get here in Canada are pretty much tasteless. Hopefully someday I will have a chance to try one that I can pick off the tree.
Wish you good luck with the seeds and keep us posted. Just please in the future, try posting at least three photos. You may check the rules HERE Thank you 🌴⭐🌴
Yes thank you for the friendly reminder!
