What is a "star fruit"?

Star fruit, also known as carambola, is a tropical fruit that resembles a star when sliced crosswise. With its vibrant yellow or green skin, it adds a visually striking element to any fruit platter. The star fruit's flavor is a delightful blend of sweet and tangy, with a hint of citrus. Its unique shape and crisp texture make it a refreshing snack when eaten fresh or incorporated into salads, smoothies, or desserts. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, star fruit offers a tropical twist that is both visually appealing and pleasing to the palate.
