Star fruit, also known as carambola, is a tropical delight that captivates with its distinctive star-shaped slices. Grown in Southeast Asia, Australia and Florida, this exotic fruit is as visually appealing as it is delicious. The thin, glossy skin is edible, enclosing soft, juicy flesh with a flavour that’s subtly sweet and slightly tangy, often likened to a blend of apple, pear and citrus. Its crisp texture and refreshing taste make star fruit a versatile ingredient for both culinary and decorative purposes. Often enjoyed raw, star fruit is also celebrated for its high vitamin C content and low-calorie profile, making it a healthy and eye-catching addition to any dish.
