The study shows that Consumption of fruits and vegetables is vital for a diversified and nutritious
diet. So I am going to write about Star fruit. The star fruit is a tropical
fruit. The local name of the Star fruit is Kamranga, and the scientific name is Averrhoa
carambola L. In Asian countries, the star fruit has many different
names: bilimbi, belimbing, Chinese star fruit, Five-angled fruit, five fingers, and the star apple. The term star fruit, however, is the most popular name,
which is derived from the fact that each slice of the fruit resembles a five-pointed star. It is common in the south of Asia, Australia, and around the entire
island around the world. The fruit that grows on trees is native to India,
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and also grows in Bangladesh, mainly in Barisal, and is gaining popularity in other parts of the country.
Fruit: The star fruit is
non-seasonal and produces 3 to 4 crops each year. Fruits are 2 to 6 inches in
length with 5 prominent longitudinal ribs; star-shaped in cross-section. The
star fruit (KAMRANGA) has five lobes covered in an edible, waxy yellow skin, so
it’s called star fruit. The flavor of the yellow flesh is reminiscent of citrus
fruit and varies from quite sour to mildly sweet, depending on variety. I found
the range in taste from pleasantly tart and sour to slightly sweet with a
complicated flavor combination that includes plum, pineapple, and lemon. It
does contain some dark or black seeds in the center.

Tree:
The tree of star fruit
(KAMRANGA), a member of the Oxalis family, grows on a bushy tree 25 to 30 feet high
with a spread of 20 to 25 feet. Evergreen, single, or
Multi-Trucked. Trees grow rapidly in locations protected from strong
winds. The leaves are sensitive to touch and light. The leaflets are 0.5 to 3.5
inches long and 0.4 to 1.8 inches wide. The KAMRANGA flowers are borne on
panicles on twigs, small-diameter branches. Flowers are perfect; flowers have
either a long or short style depending upon the cultivar. Small pink to lavender
in color, and have five petals and sepals.
Eating benefits:
The star fruit is a great
source of vitamin C, A, Iron, and Potassium, as well as plenty of trace Minerals to
satisfy and non-negligible amounts of Calcium, Phosphorus, Carotene, Thiamine,
Riboflavin, Niacin, to the amino acids Tryptophan, Methionine, and Lysine. The
star fruit is a fleshy, juicy fruit with a texture that is almost citrus,
though it has also been compared to plum or Guava fruit. The flavor, like that of an apple, ranges from tart to sweet depending on which variety you sample. An
average-sized star fruit has 40 calories, 5 of those from fat. It has 10 grams
of carbohydrates, 15% of the daily requirements of vitamin A, and 45% of the daily
requirements of vitamin C.
