Also known as carambola, this star-shaped tropical fruit has a delicious mix of sweet and sour flavors. Its versatility allows it to perfectly grow in the rainforest as well as in the coastal desert, maintaining its richness in potassium, vitamin C, and both primary and secondary polyphenolic antioxidants, while keeping sugar and sodium levels low. It is believed that it has antimicrobial properties, and its juice is often recommended as a diuretic, expectorant, and to suppress the cough.
