Star fruit is also known as Carambola. It is a tropical fruit commonly grown in southern China, India and the Philippines. In the US, it is mostly viewed as a decorative fruit. Every time I visit Florida, I enjoy eating star fruit as I would eat any other fruit since it is a great source of vitamins and nutrients. This fruit has great anti-inflammatory potential due to its high levels of antioxidants. The fiber in star fruit reduces toxicity levels in the body and boots your metabolism. It is also one of the most hydrating fruits which helps keep the skin looking young. If you would like to avoid wrinkles as you get older, load up on this star shaped sweet and sour fruit.
Starfruit is wonderful. It’s been far too long since my last taste of it. I do like it when I can find it tho!
