Bilimbi is a tropical fruit that belongs to the Oxalidaceae family. It is native to Southeast Asia and is commonly found in countries like Indonesia and the Philippines. The fruit is small, green, and elongated, resembling a tiny cucumber. Bilimbi trees thrive in warm climates and can grow up to 10 meters tall. The taste of bilimbi is very sour, making it unsuitable for eating raw. Instead, it is often used in cooking, particularly in sauces, pickles, and curries. Bilimbi is also known for its potential health benefits, including its high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties.
