The star fruit, also known as carambola, is the fruit of the tree species Averrhoa carambola, native to tropical Southeast Asia. The fruit is characterized by its distinctive ridges, typically five or six, which, when sliced crosswise, resemble a star—hence the name “star fruit.” The entire fruit is edible and is commonly consumed raw, though it can also be cooked or processed into relishes, preserves, garnishes, and juices. Cultivation of the star fruit tree occurs throughout tropical regions worldwide.
It’s important to note that star fruits contain oxalic acid and a neurotoxin called caramboxin. Consuming large quantities, especially for individuals with certain kidney conditions, can lead to serious health issues.
