Taboos on eating carambola

Star fruit is one of my favorite fruits. Like apples, it can be stored for a long time. Now is the season when star fruit is on the market. The price is more reasonable and it is rich in nutrients. Therefore, many people like to eat star fruit. There are many ways to eat carambola, including eating it raw, mixing it with sugar, making it into carambola juice, etc. So what are the precautions for eating carambola? What should we pay attention to when eating carambola?

How to eat carambola

1. Eat it raw

Star fruit is a fruit that can be eaten fresh, but the appearance of this fruit is quite unique. It has five raised ridges. Before eating it, people need to use a fruit knife to peel off the hard skin on the ridges of the star fruit. The peel should not be too thick, otherwise the flesh will be lost. After peeling, cut the flesh into slices, which will look like beautiful five-pointed stars, and can be eaten directly.

2. Mix with sugar

After peeling off the hard edges of fresh star fruit, you can eat it directly, but the star fruit tastes sour at this time, which is a bit unacceptable to many people. In addition, some people’s teeth will become numb after eating the star fruit directly. The best way at this time is to add an appropriate amount of white sugar to the star fruit pulp and mix well before eating it. This will make its taste and texture more attractive.

Taboos of eating carambola

1. Patients with kidney disease cannot eat carambolas

Although carambola is a nutritious fruit, it contains certain toxins. Normal people can metabolize these toxins out of the body as quickly as possible, but those with kidney disease or renal insufficiency cannot metabolize these toxins. These toxins will accumulate in the human body, which can induce poisoning in severe cases and have adverse effects on the human central nervous system.

2. Matching taboos

Normally, there are not many taboos when people eat star fruit alone, but if you want to eat star fruit together with other ingredients, you must be extra careful. Cheese, seafood, and other common ingredients in life cannot be eaten together with star fruit, otherwise it will cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, or food poisoning and other adverse consequences, which is very harmful to human health.
