Star fruit

Star fruit, also known as carambola, is a fruit with a star-shaped cross-section. The figures here describe the fruit with its ends trimmed. It mainly provides water and carbohydrate, along with vitamin C. Per 100g, it contains 91g water, 7.3g carbohydrate, 7.1g sugars and 31mg vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Star fruit also contains substances that can cause serious toxicity in people with kidney disease, so it is not suitable for this group. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
