Starfruit

The starfruit, or carambola, is especially fun to serve because its slices are star shaped.The fruit has a waxy skin and can be eaten unripe for a tarter flavor or ripe for a sweet and sour taste.It has been compared to apples, citrus fruits, and plums.Starfruits are now a common find in the tropical fruit section of American supermarkets.To serve, simply cut off any brown edges and the bottom, where the fruit was picked off the tree, then turn it horizontally and cut into star shaped pieces.
