Star fruit, also known as Carambola, offers several health benefits due to its rich nutritional profile. It's a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, which can help boost the immune system, promote healthy digestion, and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The entire fruit is edible, offering a crisp, juicy texture like a mix of pear, grape and citrus.

Culinary suggestions...

Choose a ripe, yellow fruit, wash it, slice it crosswise to create stars (optional: trim brown edges/seeds), and enjoy it fresh as a sweet-tart snack or use slices as a garnish for drinks, salads, and desserts, but avoid if you have kidney issues.
