Carambola Star Fruit
The comment regarding oxalic acid - this incorrect. There is oxalic acid in the leaves (which are used as traditional medicines) not the fruit. See the paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0102695X18302850#tbl0005Like rhubarb.

Carambola Star Fruit
Used to grow carambola in Darwin, NT. Won 1st prizes at Darwin Show. My tip is to cut tips of star off before eating. Cut into stars and put on pavlovas.
