Chrysophyllum cainito commonly known as Caimito, Star Apple or Milk fruit is a fruit native to the Greater Antilles and West Indies. The fruit is shaped like a sphere and has smooth glossy skin. Depending on the variety, the color of the skin can be either pale green or purple in color. When ripe, the pulp is sweet and smooth similar to a grape. It is an excellent source of healthy plant compounds and is rich in antioxidants.
