Who wants some refreshing java apple?
There was a time when Java apple was highly available in my region but not anymore. I rarely find it in our markets. Also, there were many varieties which I don't find anymore.
Back then summer means a refreshing taste of java apple almost every day. The taste is watery with a touch of sweetness and a slight bitter & tangy flavor. Now, whenever I find this I try to buy some for home. You can make a salad or eat it raw. I wouldn't say it's delicious but sure refreshing. Also, if you are trying to lose weight it can be a good option for salad too.
A few days ago, I bought some red java apple, which is more sweeter in taste than the green one. The price is also very cheap. I decided to make a quick spicy salad with them.
Let me share how you can prepare it.
Cut off the upper and lower (star-shaped) portion and wash them properly. There will probably be some dust in the bottom part. Some also grow a round seed inside, remove it too if you find one.
Cut them as you like and they are ready to have a good toss with other ingredients.
I added some red chili flecks, sesame seeds, mustard oil, salt, and sugar. You can guess how complex the taste was.
It was sweet, tangy, spicy, and full of flavor. I loved it.
Java apple is good for reducing bad cholesterol and toxicity in the body. Also, it's popular as diabetic food as it is low in carbohydrates. The refreshing watery texture helps improve skin too.
It's like a natural medicine with lots of benefits. If it's available to you, try it :)

Hello dear friend @rem-steem good day
this looks exquisite
It is good that this dessert is not only delicious, it is also healthy for our body
have a beautiful day
I agree. Thanks for taking the time to go through my post :)
Didn't even know this fruit existed! Looks amazing, but hasn't been sold in my country before. If I ever see one in the future I will make an effort to give it a taste.
I hope you will find it in the marketplace near you, maybe someday.
Here's hoping!
I didn't know that the fruit's name is "java apple". In my country, it's called "jambu air" (water apple). My dad planted it in our backyard. And yes, it's so tasty with spicy salad seasoning. Just looking at the pictures made me imagine the taste and drooling. 😍😋
We call it jamrul, there's a similarity in the name. We too had one in our yard, my Dad planted one. :)
If it's available to you, try it. It tastes nice.
Aah noted. Jamrul. Yea, it's quite similar to jambu, but jamrul sounds cuter :D

We have a lot of it in my region but honestly I never knew what it's called till I read this. Your dish looks nice, I'll definitely buy some when I visit the market again and try mine. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't know it was available over there. Yeah, try it; it's so refreshing.
🥰
yes, my best friend also really likes eating javanese apples.
That's great.
Great, now I know one more fruit, or is it a vegetable?
Nope, it's a fruit 😁
