Introduction

Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) which is also known as carambola, is a tree species native to Southeast Asia. It took the name star fruit because when it is cut in cross-section, it resembles a star. It is an unusual fruit that is getting increasingly popular. It has a sweet and sour taste and it can be used in a great number of different dishes.

The star fruit has been cultured in the areas of Southeast Asia for centuries. Asian traders introduced star fruit in other parts of Asia such as India and Sri Lanka and it was later introduced in China, Taiwan, and Oceania. Its popularity enabled it to be introduced in USA, South and Central America, Caribbean and in certain parts of Africa.

Star fruit is native in Southeast Asia but traders over the centuries introduced it to many parts of the world. Nowadays major producers of starfruit are Australia, USA, Malaysia, India, Israel, Taiwan, Guyana and the Philippines.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
