Fresh Star Fruit (Carambola), Crisp and Juicy

Ripe star fruit has crisp, juicy flesh that tastes sweet with a tart edge, like apple and pear with a crisp grape finish. Carambola (Averrhoa carambola, as the fancy scientists call it) gets its name from its shape, because every slice you cut crosswise turns into a star. Slice it fresh, toss the stars into a fruit salad or float one on a drink, and round out the order with our other exotic fruit boxes. Plenty of fans simply call it starfruit, and it adds a little tropical flair to any plate or glass. This box comes in three sizes: Small (3 Pounds), Medium (5 Pounds) or Large (8 Pounds). Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your star fruit arrive firm, unbruised and ready to ripen on your counter.

Best Ways to Enjoy Star Fruit

Fresh in a Fruit Salad

Slice star fruit crosswise and toss the stars into a fruit salad with berries or citrus. The crisp bite and sweet-tart taste add shape and sparkle to the bowl, and the slices look great on a platter.

As a Drink Garnish

Float a slice on sparkling water, iced tea or your favorite cocktail. Star fruit is a classic garnish for fancy drinks, and the stars make any glass look like a special occasion.

Baked into Dessert

Try using star fruit in a classic upside-down cake. Layer the slices in the pan, and they bake into a pretty pattern of stars that looks far fancier than the effort it takes.

A Pick for Apple and Pear Fans

If you love crisp apples, ripe pears or green grapes, star fruit is a natural next fruit to try. It brings a familiar crunch with a tropical twist, and it makes a fun surprise for curious eaters.
