Hello friends. Today, a neighboring sister gave me two fruits named star fruits. These fruits are delicious and healthy. Do you know the origin of the name "star fruit" for this fruit? Now let's get into the details of this fruit.

The name "carambola" refers to these star fruits. Although this star fruit is found all throughout the world, it is most common in tropical regions like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Dark green when unripe, star fruit ripens to a bright yellow color. Ripe star fruit has a sweet, slightly acidic flavor and is meaty, crisp, and juicy. Smaller start fruits are tarter than larger start fruits.

The fruit is called "Star Fruit" because it resembles a star when cut horizontally. These star fruits are extremely nutritious. This fruit has few calories and is a fantastic source of antioxidants, fiber, protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin B5, Calcium, Sodium, Copper, Potassium, and Magnesium. Eating these fruits will help to prevent cancer. Star fruit's high fiber content can help people lose weight. The vitamin C in this fruit will help your body produce the right quantity of white blood cells for a healthy immune system. The abundance of sodium and potassium in star fruit serves as an electrolyte in our bodies, preserving normal blood pressure. Additionally, it guarantees a normal pulse and wholesome blood flow. The calcium in star fruit can also ease tension in your blood vessels and arteries. This can minimize your chance of heart attack or stroke.

However, keep in mind that if you have kidney disease, star fruit must absolutely be avoided.

This star fruit can be prepared by washing it in water, trimming the edges, and cutting it horizontally without peeling. Before eating, season with salt & pepper.
