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.

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.
