Star Fruit Also known as the Carambola, this unusual five pointed star-shaped fruit has a delicate fragrance and juicy texture. Look for the plump yellow fruits to be fragrant, and blemish-free when ripe. The pale yellow transluscent flesh is crisp and citrus-like, perfect for salads. Seeds can be removed from the slices with a knife point if desired. Star fruit hails from Southeast Asia but American's eat fruits grown in Florida in the winter and fall.
Star fruit is rich in vitamin C, potassium and fiber.
