What is Star Fruit?

Star fruit, also known as carambola, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia and now grown worldwide in tropical regions.

When sliced, its unique ridges create perfect star-shaped pieces, making it one of the most visually stunning fruits to enjoy and serve.

The taste is light, crisp, and refreshing — a blend of apple, grape, and citrus, with just the right balance of sweetness and tang. Its juicy texture makes it perfect for snacking, juicing, garnishes, or adding a tropical twist to savoury dishes.
