Foodie Fact: Starfruit, the New Hangover Cure

I’m not actually sure if it’s good for hangovers but it’s worth a shot.

Star fruit Also known as Carambola. Native to Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka.

An entirely edible fruit (skin included) that is best consumed when ripe, when they are yellow with a light shade of green. The ridges will be brown and fruit will feel  firm. Over ripened fruit is yellow with brown spots. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. 
Starfruit may be harmful to individuals suffering from kidney problems.
It is sweet (slightly)  and extremely juicy. Think of  the taste of papaya, the juiciness of orange and tartness of grapefruit.
Buy it when it’s in season: end of Summer through mid-winter.
