Star fruit, also known as carambola or Averrhoa Starfruit, is widely distributed around the world but is more popular in tropical areas, such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Unripe star fruits are dark green but as they ripen, they turn yellow. Ripe star-fruits usually taste sweet with some tanginess. However, some, especially the unripe ones taste excessively sour or even bitter.

When sliced (horizontally), the pieces of star fruit resemble a star and hence, the name starfruit.

Star fruits are fleshy and juicy from the inside while the outer portion is crunchy and crisp in texture.

Star fruits can be eaten raw or in the form of their common market preparations, such as juice, pickles, and salads.
