Hearabout our carambola


Carambola

The carambola is a star-shaped fruit with a light yellow skin and translucent flesh that can contain a few (edible) black seeds. Its tarty sweetness makes it especially thirst-quenching.

Carambola is often used in salads, tastes delicious with ice cream and desserts and makes an attractive garnish for various dishes or cocktails. Yex actively supports this wonderful product and we will be happy to help you with special offers and promotional activities.
