Star fruit (sliced)
Star fruit, also known as carambola, has a distinctive star-shaped cross-section when sliced, with a crisp, juicy flesh that ranges from tart to mildly sweet depending on ripeness. It is eaten fresh, sliced as a garnish, or added to salads and fruit salads, requiring no peeling since the entire fruit, including the skin, is edible. Its unique shape makes it a popular decorative addition to dishes.
Slicing changes an ingredient's shape and how it settles into a measuring cup compared with the whole or diced form.
