Benefits of Star fruit
Carambola has many benefits for the health of the body, which so far we may not know. Carambola is a good source of vitamins, especially vitamins A and C, as a powerful antioxidant in the fight against free radicals. The fruit is also able to help prevent the spread of cancer cells, increase endurance and prevent thrush. 
Carambola contains pectin that is able to bind cholesterol and bile acids in the intestine and help expenditure. In addition, this fruit can also lower bad cholesterol levels in the body.
Another benefit of starfruit is the smoothening of the digestive process because the starfruit has a good fiber content. It also contains high potassium levels, as well as low sodium as a hypertension drug.
This fruit is known as a Five Finger fruit where I came from in the northern part of Australia. It was one of the tropical fruits I grew in my rare fruits farm for 8 years. Loved this one with ice cream.
