I've never seen it available, but that is probably because it is never translated into english, or is translated into something I don't understand. <strong>deana@lostpastremembered</strong>: Oh star anise would be nice with them. Good idea! I find them visually interesting, enough said :) <strong>Ella</strong>: Hey, it means more for you, right? <strong>Forager</strong>: Haha, like potato printing, great idea! I am yet to try the unripe version in salad, but soon no doubt. They are probably very high in Vitamin C or similar, interesting. <strong>Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella</strong>: Good to know that I'm not alone in my carambola disinterest. <strong>Robin @ Good for the Plate</strong>: Haha, Ella is opinionated and a carambola loving freak like you :) <strong>The Artist Chef (Joanie)</strong>: Thank you :) <strong>Dadbeet</strong>: Really? Surprised they survived the onslaught of insects up there. These ones here in Hanoi are very similar to the ones from home. Boring, I'll leave them to Ella and the flying foxes to feast 'pon.

Elsewhere they are juice. I recall Carambolas north of the Daintry eaten straight off the tree when ripe being delicious. Elsewhere they are juice.

I love star fruit, they were my favorite when I was a child, and Im not usually a fan of the pucker, dry thing. I just like to eat them by the slice... then again I hate cucumbers, so maybe I am just a freak. .-= Robin @ Good for the Plate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.goodforthepalate.com/2009/12/foods-i-wouldnt-mourn-were-they-to.html" rel="nofollow">"Foods I wouldn't mourn were they to suddenly disappear from the planet"</a> =-.
