What is a star fruit, how is it prepared.?
Most importantly, how do you eat the thing, there are tons of fruits out there, and vegetables out there that I have NO idea about. Is there a book out there that tells you how to prepare and eat?
I wouldn't even know how to eat a star fruit~
Answers:
Star fruit is also called Carambola. It has five long ridges that run down the length of the fruit so when you slice it, it is the shape of a star. The fruit is mostly yellow. but you may find them with some green left on them in the store. These would just need to ripen more. The very tips of the ridges turn brown when the fruit is ripe. It is fine to eat the skin, but some star fruits will have seeds in them which you should not eat.
It tastes like a mix of apple and citrus, a little sweet and a little tart. You can just slice and eat, or add to a fruit salad or fresh fruit tart, or chop and add to a mixed greens salad with a raspberry vinagrette dressing.
Hope this Helps!

just wash the dust off it, slice it crosswise and use it as is ... it tastes nice, looks pretty, and is a great garnish ...especially at Christmas time
star fruit is a bright yellow fruit that has a star shap to it (it is kinda streched out) and you wash it cut it and eat it i dont eat the peel i dont know weather or not you can it can have a rather bitter tast some times but i have also had really sweet starfruit
The only preparation needed is to first be sure it is ripe because unripe star fruit is so bitter it's unpleasant, and then wash it before slicing it into bite size pieces.
