I have Star Fruit tree next to my yard since I moved to FL 23 years ago. I have been hesitating to eat it due to it having large amount of oxalic acid (or its derivative). So over the years huge amount of frut just dropped to the ground and decomposed. Eat just few over all those years, they sour-sweet some more some less. I will try the dressing recipe for start and go from there. Thanks for sharing.

Hi there! I have Fang Twon and Arkin variety. They are very sweet. Juicing for me for both varieties is the natural way to go for all 5 trees are robust and abundantly fruiting a couple times of year. The more tart varietals are good in chutneys, dressings, smoothies ( I think you would need to add sugar of some sort) and jams would be a natural. As I have read in google scholar.com there are several papers citing kidney problems e/the Starfruit oxacylic acid and different varietals wether sweet or sour.

@@marcieziv Thanks for replying, I appreciate it very much. I do not know what variety is, it grows without any attention from anybody on adjacent lot with a vacant house for over 8 years now. I am going to start my consumption of star fruit slowly incorporating it in some recipies but definitelly in moderation. And salad dressing seems to be a good start.

Some random Lady at a fruit market told me she had a low platelet count she said that fruit fixed it so sounds like a superfood too me

Hello Enitan! Perfect! What area of the country are you in? Fortunately they are an easy no finicky tree to grow. I wish for you a healthy abundant tree! ❤️ thank you for watching my channel and leaving a comment!🤗

[@Pabz2030]

You should pray you survive if you eat it... Star Fruit contains a neruotoxin called Caramboxin that is dangerous for everyone and fatal to anyone with kidney disease. It's also incredibly high in Oxylates and will cause kidney stoens and other significant health problems. So you might not want to eat this poison

[@sheri023]

I was surprised to learn that it can be harmful to kidney patients.

[@marcieziv]

Hello. Yes, apparently the oxalates in starfruit may be harmful to persons with kidney dysfunction. Thank you for watching my channel and taking time to comment.😊
