Star Fruit/carambola

Beautiful, unusual starfruit, also known as carambola, gets its name from its five-pointed shape, which yields slices of juicy, lush translucent stars when sliced. The fruit ripens to a bright, light yellow and begins to exude a light, tropical aroma. Sweet and mild, the flavor has been compared to plums, grapes, pineapple and pear, with notes of lemon and tropical breezes.
