    Star apple, also known as African cherry or "Agbalumo" in Yoruba and "Udara" in Igbo, is indeed a popular fruit in various parts of Nigeria. It's interesting that you mention a specific variety called "Nwanu" that you find particularly sweet. This highlights the diversity within the species, where different varieties can exhibit unique flavors and sweetness levels. The star apple is not only enjoyed for its taste but also appreciated for its nutritional benefits, being rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. If you enjoy "Nwanu," it might be worth exploring local markets to find other varieties that might surprise you with their unique flavors!

    There are local sellers who brings the Nwanu specie in the farmer's market every Tuesday here in my town. It's why I always go to shop for it on Tuesday because it's only when I can buy it at cheaper rate.

    That sounds like a great opportunity to enjoy the "Nwanu" variety at a better price! Shopping at a farmer's market not only allows you to access fresh, local produce but also supports local farmers and sellers. It's a smart strategy to take advantage of specific market days when you know you can get your favorite variety at a more affordable rate. Plus, engaging with local sellers might give you insights into the best ways to pick the ripest fruits or even learn about other varieties you might enjoy. Enjoy your trips to the market and the delicious "Nwanu" star apples!

    Exactly! I have mastered how to take advantage of the farmer's market because I know the benefit that comes from using them to buy fruits and vegetable that are very fresh is far more better than buying it at the shopping mall.

    That's a smart approach! Farmer's markets often offer fresher produce since the fruits and vegetables are typically sourced directly from local farms, reducing the time between harvest and sale. This usually means better flavor and possibly higher nutritional content, as the produce is allowed to ripen more fully before being picked. Additionally, buying at farmer's markets can strengthen your community by supporting local agriculture and small businesses.

    Shopping there also provides the chance to discover unique varieties of produce you might not find in larger stores, such as your favorite "Nwanu" star apples. Plus, the opportunity to talk directly with farmers and sellers allows you to learn more about how your food is grown and get tips on selecting and preparing it. Enjoy making the most of your farmer's market visits!

    I had own portion of hot and spicy noodles last night. My babe cooked for us, adding two eggs each for us. It was very spicy but I love it.
