About
Rambutan is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, known for its vibrant red or yellow spiky skin and juicy, translucent flesh. It belongs to the same family as lychee and longan. The fruit has a sweet, mildly acidic taste and is rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.
Rambutan thrives in warm, humid climates and is commonly grown in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. It is typically eaten fresh but can also be used in desserts, such as sorbets and puddings.
