How to eat carambola? How to eat carambola raw?

Star fruit is sweet and sour, has a lot of juice, and is beautiful in shape. It is a very popular fruit in life. However, many people do not know how to eat star fruit when they buy it for the first time. They look at this hexagonal thing and have no idea where to start. In fact, there are many ways to eat star fruit. I will introduce you to the illustrated instructions for eating star fruit raw.

Eating tips

1. The fruit of carambola has no core and does not need to be peeled when eaten. The whole thing can be eaten, but it has 5 to 6 protruding ridges. Be sure to wash it with clean water before eating, and then use a knife to scrape off the hard edges on the ridges.

2. When peeling off the hard edges of the star fruit, do not peel too much, just a thin layer. After peeling, cut the star fruit flesh into thin slices and place them on a plate. At this time, its flesh looks like a five-pointed star or hexagon, which is very beautiful. If you want to eat it, just use a fork to eat it.

3. Many people feel that the carambola tastes too sour and astringent when they eat it for the first time, which is somewhat unacceptable. Then after cutting the carambola into slices, you can prepare an appropriate amount of white sugar and dip the cut carambola slices directly in the sugar, which will make its taste and mouthfeel even better.

4. If the star fruit is not eaten in time after being cut, a large number of bacteria will breed. The best way at this time is to sprinkle a small amount of edible salt on the uneaten star fruit slices, which can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria.

Eating taboos

1. Although carambola contains many nutrients that are beneficial to the human body, it also contains a toxin. This toxin cannot be metabolized out of the body after entering the human body. It will accumulate in the kidneys and cause kidney poisoning. People with renal insufficiency, or those suffering from hypertension and diabetes are not suitable for eating carambola.

2. When eating carambola, you should also pay attention to the fact that it cannot be taken with lipid-lowering drugs, as it will inhibit the efficacy of the drugs and be detrimental to the recovery of the human body.
