Lol. I don't know if that's supposed to be sarcastic, but I've never seen anyone try.
You can eat the peel, so it isn't nessesary. (Nor do I think it'd work very well considering how thick & waxy the peel is.)
It is a rather thick and waxy skin, so I don't think we'd have seen all the juices 'splash' as we did, if it hadn't been peeled.
Nah. I've eaten starfruits skin & all. The skin is thick, but the fruit itself isn't in any way hard. It's also hollow inside, so the fruit will squish if you squeeze it too hard.
I'm trying to think of something more familiar that you might compare it to, but I honestly can't come up with anything.
Actually, no, compare it to a Paprika (bell pepper). Only with slightly thicker skin, and a lot juicier on the inside.
If you cut a paprika in half, you notice a lot of empty space. That's kind of what you get with a starfruit.
It also doesn't
look like a peeled starfruit in the footage.
Then again, I don't know from your comments whether you're speaking from experience or if you've never actually seen a real starfruit.
