Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi)

Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi), a souring agent for the classic sinigang

Despite the similarity of the scientific name of the kamias to balimbing, they are two different fruits. Balimbing is Averrhoa carambola and the popular English name is star fruit. Sliced cross-wise, the cut pieces look like five-pointed stars.

Kamias is smoother but acidic as well. It is boiled and strained, or cut into small pieces, to flavor the classic sinigang and to cook paksiw na isda.
