another name is the Carambola... the fruit looks like a star when cut crosswise... it is kinda sweet-sour in a citrusy kind of way... great in fruit salads or eaten in slices with a mild cheese like muenster... you eat it all, you don't have to peel it...
yum, my fav tropical fruit! in the Cook Islands that fruit is called raparapa (looks like a rubber, as in an eraser, hence that name). grows wild there and is delicious. to me, a cross between a nashi / asian pear and an orange.
take care: not to be eaten by people with any form of kidney disease. refer Dr Google.
Looks interesting. Never heard about a star fruit. Is it sweet? Looks lilke bell pepper.
