Star fruit, also called Carambola.

Rare or common depending on season and region.

Not common to find in preserved (canned) form.

I have actually lived in areas where these grow like weeds (tropical region) so I know they're relatively easy to grow.

Status: not rare, but unlikely to be available in your local grocery store. Try them if you can find them.
