Carambola aka StarFruit

Grapes are my fresh loving snack but Bryan has a guy at work who gave him these yellowish weird apple type fruits called StarFruit. Real name is Carambola but it's known as the StarFruit which is sitting there next to my grapes. I just thought they were the sweetest, most sourest tasting fruit combined. They are a good snack, hard to find. They are grown here in FL but still not common. Carambola is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C and low in sugar, sodium, and acid. I guess really healthy for you. I just thought they were neat sitting on our counter!

I've never tried it. It looks intimidating. Like a pineapple. Where do you even start?

wow - those look interesting. Can't say I've noticed them before in my local grocery stores but will look closer next time. Have you heard of "Ugly Fruit"? We have that in our stores. I'm not sure what it is and I'm afraid to buy it.

I've seen them....but never tried them either. Maybe I'll pick some up next time I'm at the store.
