岭南多奇果，杨桃也许是最含蓄的那一个，横切开来，五角星悄然显现，汁水清润，酸甜透亮。佳果为礼，这份岭南礼物，带着温润，相会APEC，与亚太来宾共赏东方清韵。

杨桃·岭南名果

Starfruit (Carambola) · A Famed Lingnan Fruit

产地：广东

Origin: Guangdong

【诗词】

北宋·辛弃疾《临江仙·和叶仲洽赋羊桃》

忆醉三山芳树下，几曾风韵忘怀。黄金颜色五花开，味如卢橘熟。贵似荔枝来。

[Poem]

Xin Qiji, Northern Song Dynasty, "Linjiangxian · In Reply to Ye Zhongqia, on the Carambola": I recall being drunk beneath the fragrant trees of the Three Hills; how could I forget their charm? Golden in hue, its five petals bloom; ripe, it tastes like the loquat; it arrives as prized as the litchi.

【时令】

主产季9月-11月，一年两熟，春果酸、秋果甜，中秋前后风味最浓。

[Season]

Main harvest from September to November. It bears twice a year; the spring fruit is tart, the autumn fruit sweet, with the richest flavor around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

【风物志】

古称五敛子，横切呈星形，是岭南标志性鲜果。果肉脆嫩多汁，民间常盐渍或蘸酸梅粉食用。

[Notes]

Known in ancient times as “wulianzi”; sliced crosswise it forms a star, making it a signature Lingnan fruit. Its crisp, tender, juicy flesh is commonly eaten salted or dipped in sour plum powder.
