Talk:Carambola

message: I never knew that you could die from eating this fruit, shouldn't they put health warnings or something. From today's news 10 people in serious condition, 2 of them died after eating Carambola --Bukhrin (talk) 14:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fatal consumption of Carambola (starfruit)

message: To eat it, just wash it and cut it up (it doesn't matter how, lengthwise or widthwise (stars)).  You don't need to peel it.  I don't think there is a "proper" way to eat it, though I think it would make sense to cut it up since it's a little... awkwardly shaped to just eat it. 24.84.0.4 03:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure the Paopu fruit is not based on the Carambola. I think the star shape is just a coincidence. Unless someone can find some conclusive evidence that the carambola is the basis of paopu's design, I'm going to delete that section. Jamie1743 (talk) 20:51, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: It's actually 3 to 6, but five remains the most common. Some of the lower number of ridges result from fusing of two or more ridges, others are 'mutants'. Photographic evidence:

message: The following supposed Dab entry has been rewrit at Manis (disambiguation):
*BELIMBING MANIS,STAR FRUIT,AVERRHOA CARAMBOLA, BELIMBING,BALIMBING,MA DUN  Grimes, William. 2004. Eating Your Worlds. Oxford University Press
The ext lk is to a page (also specifing regions where the terms are used) that seems to imply there may be two species in that list, so i have not added accordingly to the accompanying article.--Jerzy•t 04:05, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Belimbing manis" is simply Indonesian/Malaysian for "Sweet Belimbing" (Averrhoa carambola) as opposed to "belimbing asam", "Sour Belimbing" (Averrhoa bilimbi). So yes, "belimbing manis" is carambola. I have rewritten the entry at the dab. -- Obsidi♠n Soul 13:12, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Carambola Starfruit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 10, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-08-10. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng  {chat} 18:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[:File:Carambola Starfruit.jpg]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: It would probably be better if the main image of the fruit shows ripe fruits instead of unripe, as it would better represent the fruit. Everyone would recognize an unripe tomato, but people don't know how an exotic fruit is supposed to look like. ~~ Unsigned  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.96.50.150 (talk) 02:14, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
