Carambolo, commonly known as star fruit, is a tropical fruit that is popular in many tropical and subtropical regions. It gets its name from its unique shape, which resembles a five-pointed star when sliced crosswise. The fruit is typically yellow or green and has a crisp, juicy texture. Star fruit has a sweet and slightly tangy flavor, and it can be eaten fresh, added to salads, or used as a garnish for various dishes. Some people enjoy its distinctive taste, which is often described as a combination of citrus and apple-like notes. It’s also a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber.
