About this record

Raw carambola, the star-shaped fruit eaten with its skin. Per 100 g the record reports 31 kcal, 6.7 g of carbohydrate with 4.0 g of sugars, 2.8 g of fiber and 34.4 mg of vitamin C (38% of the Daily Value); water is 91%. A medium fruit of 91 g has 28 kcal, 2.5 g of fiber and 31 mg of vitamin C (35%); a cup of cubes weighs 132 g.

The fruit is low in energy and in every mineral listed: 133 mg of potassium and 10 mg of magnesium per 100 g. USDA does not measure oxalic acid or other non-nutrient compounds in this record, so the table says nothing about them. Values refer to the fresh fruit; dried or candied starfruit is a different food with far more sugar per 100 g.
