The very versatile 'kamias' is closely related to the bigger-sized 'balimbing' or star fruit. In cooking I believe it CAN be used as an alternative to lemons or even the sweet & sour tamarind fruit. Here are some helpful links that might be of interest for you -http://www.stuartxchange.org/Kamias.html andhttp://www.marketmanila.com/archives/kamias-iba-belimbing .
