🌿 Product Name: Star Gooseberry (Trái Chùm Ruột) 500+/-50g
Scientific Name: Phyllanthus acidus
👉 Harvest Date: Fruits form in clusters along branches and older trunk. Ripening comes in flushes rather than a single harvest window — typically a main flush plus 1–2 additional flushes per year depending on climate. Harvest when fruit turns pale yellow-green and slightly softens.
💚 Natural flavors: Intensely sour and crisp with a mild astringency, similar to a tart gooseberry or unripe grape. Rarely eaten plain — typically dipped in salt-chili, pickled/candied in sugar (chùm ruột ngâm đường/mứt chùm ruột), or muddled into sweet-tart drinks.
