Carambola is a small evergreen tree (Averrhoa
carambola) of South East Asia.
The fruits, called star fruit, are yellowish,
about 12cm (4inches) long, with a
five-pointed star-shaped cross-section.
They can either be eaten raw, cooked, or
pickled, they are also juicily acidic.
The juice is useful for removing stains from
hands and clothes.
