Star Fruit (Carambola)

About
It has been cultivated since ancient times in the near and far East. Today, star fruit flourishes in south Florida, its best US growing region. A ready-made garnish, the golden yellow fruit, when sliced crosswise, yields perfect five-pointed star shaped sections, hence its name star fruit. Its flavor is a juicy combination of plums, pineapples and lemons.
