RAMBUTAN
Rambutan is a tropical fruit that is originated from the Southeast Asia. The name comes from a Malay word, meaning “hair”, referring to the fruit’s unique appearance. Rambutan is small in size and has a round oval shape. The leathery skin is reddish (rarely orange or yellow) and covered with fleshy pliable spines, that resembles a sea urchin. The vibrant and hairy exterior hides white translucent flesh with a mild sweet and sour flavor, similar to a grape. Enjoyers can never resist the urge to eat another rambutan after the first bite

How to eat Rambutan can either be enjoyed fresh or used as an ingredient in a host of different recipes and scenarios, such as salad, sweet soups, jellies, ,,,,
How to eat a fresh Rambutan:
Cut the skin. Make a small incision in the “hairy” outside flesh of the fruit. Lightly squeeze the exterior to pop out the edible inner portion. It will appear similar to a large, white grape.
Discard the seed. Make another small cut into the edible flesh of the fruit so that you can rid yourself of its large inner seed. If this raw seed pops out easily, you’re dealing with a freestone version of this plant; if it seems difficult to extract, then the rambutan is a clingstone. Beyond these two classifications, there are hundreds of different cultivar names and many different types of these plants.
Enjoy your rambutan. You can now enjoy the edible portion of the rambutan
