Carambola, commonly known as starfruit, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its unique star shape when sliced, with a bright yellow or green skin. The fruit has a crisp texture and a sweet-tart flavor, making it popular in salads, juices, and desserts. Rich in vitamins C and A, carambola is low in calories and high in antioxidants. It can be eaten fresh or used in cooking, and its juice is often enjoyed for its refreshing taste. However, individuals with kidney issues should consume it cautiously due to its oxalic acid content.
