and saw this pa!

Also known as gaeang (Aklanon), carambola (English/Spanish) or five corners; it is a five-sided fruit that gives a star shape in cross section. The fruit is usually pale green and turns yellow when ripened. Balimbing is also a popular term for turncoats or hypocrites.
Balimbing is native to the Malay peninsula and is grown throughout the Philippines. May be grown as an ornamental tree. The fruit can be eaten when ripe and can also be made into a refreshing drink. I like it when it is manibalang (just about ripe), when the fruit is tart and can be eaten with salt.
It is claimed that the fruit reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics; the fruit used as a diuretic in Chinese medicine.
