1. Clean the carambola and cut off the hard edges with a knife. Carambola usually has five or six hard edges. Just cut off a thin hard edge.

2. Then cut into thin five-pointed stars or six-pointed stars, and you can eat them.

If you think the carambola is too astringent or sour, it will be more delicious to dip it in brown sugar or white sugar. You can also sprinkle some salt on the cut carambola for sterilization.

Patients with kidney disease fast. Carambola contains a neurotoxin that ordinary people can metabolize, but patients with kidney disease can't excrete this toxin, which leads to poisoning. In addition, people with diseases such as hypertension and diabetes should pay attention to their renal function before eating.

Can't be eaten with anti-hyperlipidemia drugs at the same time. Carambola also contains some substances, which can make most oral drugs enter the blood circulation system instead of being metabolized in the intestine, thus enhancing the efficacy. Therefore, some drugs, such as statins, are not suitable for eating with carambola.
