Reach For The Star Fruit

Carambola gets its common name 'starfruit' from its shape. When you slice it, the slices look like little stars! Starfruit is a crisp and tart yellow fruit, commonly used in desserts, though you can also use it as a vegetable in savory food and as a flavoring for shrimp, chicken, and other forms of protein. Some even candy this fruit! When ripe, star fruit is very nutrient dense. Some of the nutrients include dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, calcium, B vitamins, and antioxidants like polyphenolic compounds. The potassium helps balance blood pressure, thus lowering the risk of strokes and heart attacks. The fiber, as you will be aware at this point, aids in digestion and helps manage diabetes. Starfruit also promotes healthy skin, boosts the immune system, and helps build strong bones. Quite the powerful little star!
