Starfruit juice
Use the exact beverage or recipe.
Dried fruit
Use the concentrated product label.
Preserves
Use the sweetened product.

PHOTO LOGGING
How to log raw starfruit more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Carambola, (starfruit), raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record, while explicitly labelled gram examples are calculated.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
