Carambola
Carambola is also known as the Chinese star fruit and has the shape of a five-pointed star.
Ripe carambolas are firm and have a bright yellow skin. The flesh of the fruit is very juicy, with a taste reminiscent of gooseberries or quinces. It has small seeds around the core.
Usage
Carambola fruit can be enjoyed plain, without anything else added. The yellower the skin, the sweeter the fruit. The yellow fruit with slightly brown edges is ideal for consumption. Remove the brown edges and any visible seeds.
Carambola can be used in fruit and vegetable salads, to decorate dishes, in the preparation of cakes or pies, cocktails and smoothies. Carambola slices mixed with other tropical fruits create a colorful mixture with a sweet and sour taste. The most delicious combinations are with bananas, strawberries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, papaya, grapes and various citrus fruits.
Due to their unusual shape, carambola stars can be an appetizing decoration for simple salads.
