Rambutans are a delicious tropical fruit native to Indonesia and Southeast Asia. It is a close relative of other tropical fruits, including the lychee, longan, and mamoncillo. Rambutan in Indonesian, Filipino, or Malay means "hairy.” The fruit gets its name because it has a hair-like covering.
Rambutan grow in clusters of 10 to 20 fruits. When ripe, their diameters range from 1.5 to 2 inches and they weigh approximately 0.9–1.4 ounces.
The rambutan's outer color varies from yellow to red, and its pulp is white.
The rambutan's taste is similar to that of a lychee or grape. It is sweet, with a juicy pulp.
A good antioxidant, rambutan is a healthy, nutritious fruit rich in carbohydrates, vitamin C, and minerals like potassium and magnesium.
