Scientific Name of Plant
Averrhoa carambola

Description
When cut crosswise, this showy fruit has a striking star shape, which is why it's also called star fruit. It ranges from 3-5 inches long and is easy to identify by the five definitive ribs that traverse its length. Its skin is a glossy golden-yellow, its matching flesh beautifully translucent and dotted occasionally with a dark seed.
