Starfruit

Starfruit, also known as carambola, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. It is distinctive for its shape that resembles a five-pointed star when cut crosswise. The fruit's skin is thin, waxy, and typically a bright, appealing yellow when ripe. Its flesh, which is juicy and translucent, ranges from pale yellow to light green and hosts a few small, edible seeds.

Starfruit has a scent that's refreshingly aromatic. The fragrance is mildly sweet and tart, reminiscent of a combination of apple, pear, and citrus fruits. Some may detect subtle floral notes that contribute to its tropical aroma. The overall scent profile of starfruit is light and enticing, perfectly complementing its crisp and succulent texture. This characteristic makes it popular not only as a fresh snack but also in salads, desserts, and beverages where its unique flavor and aroma are highly valued.
