Description

Introduction

Carambola (Averrhoa carambola) also known as starfruit, is a popular dessert fruit in Malaysia. The

fruit has an attractive star-shape (hence the common name) when sliced cross-wise. They have a

smooth and waxy skin. Ripe starfruit range from pale to dark yellow in colour. The fruits are crispy

and very juicy and may range in taste from tart to sweet, with a delightful fragrance.

The fruit is planted commercially in most of the west coast states of Peninsular Malaysia. More than

90% of the fruit grown in Malaysia is exported, with the Netherlands being the most important market.

Other important importing countries are Singapore and Germany.

While starfruit is mainly eaten as fresh fruit, they may be used in desserts, in savoury dishes or

processed as beverages, jam, pickles or preserves. Starfruit juice also has a unique flavour and is

believed to have cooling properties. Many Asian communities use starfruit in traditional medicine as

well.
