_MVS0487 - Flowers and Carambola From my backyard for the juice jar, salads and fruits, delicious in form of five-pointed star behind the energy of shape symbolizing the mans arms and legs spread, the Vitruvian Man of Leonardo Da Vinci. The carambola is the fruit of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola), an ornamental tree small, family of Oxalidaceae. It has white flowers and purple. It is widely used as afforestation plant gardens and backyards. It originated in India and is well known in China. Sweet-sour taste, with colors ranging from green to yellow, depending on the degree of maturation, rich in minerals (calcium, phosphorus and iron) and containing vitamins A, C and B complex, the star fruit is considered a febrifuge fruit (serving for fever), antiscorbutic (which serves to cure the disease scurvy - vitamin C deficiency, which is characterized by a tendency to hemorrhage), and due to the large amount of oxalic acid, appetite stimulator. Its juice can be used to remove iron stains, paints and yet clean metal. Its bark is used as antidisentérico, due to the high tannin content - whose astringent power can hold the intestine. People with chronic renal failure can not eat carambola, because this fruit has a natural toxin - the caramboxina - which is not filtered by the kidneys of these people, being retained in the body and reaching the brain and can induce crisis hiccups, vomiting, mental confusion , psychomotor agitation, prolonged seizures (status epilepticus), coma and even lead to death. Patients with diabetes should consult their doctor before eating, they may suffer from renal failure and not knowing. People without kidney problems should avoid abuse consumption of carambola. Thats because its oxalic acid content can eventually produce kidney stones in sensitive individuals. It was introduced in Brazil in 1817, being planted in virtually all of Brazil.
