Starfruit Juice

This exotic and refreshing drink is made from the beautiful fruit Carambola, more commonly known as the Starfruit due to its unique shape. The fruit has 5 ridges running down its side, so a cross-section of the fruit resembles a pretty star!
The Starfruit is extremely juicy and sweet when ripe, with a slightly tart citrusy taste. It normally is yellow when ripe, green when not. This fruit is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.
I find that apples and pears add a lot of depth to juice made from the starfruit, so I tend to add them when making Starfruit Juice.
