Slightly sweet, slightly tart, and with a hint of flowers
make these beautiful fruits a delight. |
The first time I ever saw a carambola fruit was in Hawaii. Our hotel had a huge tropical fruit display in their breakfast buffet and this was a featured item. The unique star shape provides a "wow" factor and makes this a fun addition to any party platter.
I found starfruit last week at Safeway. They weren't cheap at $3.99 per, but the fruits were large and one easily served my family.
Simply wash and thinly slice. The skin is edible.
A 3-1/2 inch fruit has about 27 calories and 2-1/2 g of fiber.
