Fruits and Veggies Monday - The Bilimbi Fruit-bearing tree
This is a ***Bilimbi Fruits***, a close relative to star fruits. A native to southeast asia. This fruit -bearing tree produce hundreds of fruits all year round. In the Philippines, We have two types of Bilimbi fruits. One is sour which we called it ***Kamias***, while the sweet version is we called it ***Balimbing***.

Bilimbi fruit-bearing tree is not only used for cooking, It is also use for traditional remedies for certain illnesses. The leaves are used for the treatment of cough, fever, venereal disease and rectal inflammation. It is also known to lower cholesterol and helps to alleviate internal hemmorhoids.

We usually use *Bilimbi fruits* as a natural souring agent for cooking. Sometimes, we eat it raw and is sprinkled with a bit of salt. It's extremely very sour and too acidic. 

When the fruit ripes, it falls in the ground. It's skin is shiny and the flesh is greenish to white in color and again its overly sour!

We preserved Bilimbi fruits by sun drying for longer shelf life, though its available all year round.

Bilimbi tree is also called cucumber tree. It is rich in vitamins, potassium and has an antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

This post is my contribution to #fruitsandveggiesmonday by a wonderful Steemian @lenasveganliving. Thank you so much for the opportunity to introduce local produce from the tropic countries.

Really cool @sherylneill πŸ˜‰ we call the less sour one with belimbing gading. I think what do you mean Balimbing is star fruit? I was once told my philipino friend about it. But.. I know that the sweet one or balimbing has yellow color while kamias remained green.

I msde candied sun-dried bilimbi with the kamias and today My FIL asked for stir-fry anchovies with fresh bilimbi. We're blessed with this valuable fruit!

Hello @cicisaja. Haha, now i am a bit confused. Yes, you are right, sorry guys for the missed information. I need to re-write my post. Thank you for the heads up. 
Candied, sundried bilimbi? Wow, that's amazing! How did you make it? That sounds delicious and interesting :)
