Have you ever eaten Ranbutan?

Fresh Rambutan - I got some of this in freeze dried form from my sister.

My sister knows that I like to try weird fruit, so for Christmas she gave me some freeze dried Rambutan that she found at a store called Trader Joes. It is actually pretty good. It says on the package that it is a product of Thailand. Has you ever heard of it or tired it? Do you like to try strange fruit? Any suggestions on a good fruit to try?

These were in the grocery store where my granddaughter works and we were there looking at them and talking about them when the produce man came and told us what they were and let us try one. they have a very different tast than you would expect. I thought they were rather good, but they are too expensive to buy for a family to eat.

I tried a freeze dried Ranbutan once. It was good. I like to try new things. I give new foods a chance, if at all possible.

Rambutan is actually quite common in my country here in the Philippines. Though, I must agree it is kind of a strange fruit. Even so, I love rambutan. Its taste is sweet and kind of watery. What I don't really like much about eating it is that some of it get stuck in between my teeth.

I live in Singapore and rambutans are common here, if u want to try a strange fruit, try dragonfruit. Or try the fruit that we love here in Singapore but is banned on public transport, durian, many Americans cannot even stand the smell of durian as the smell is very strong however I think the flavour is very rich and although the fruit smells a little too strong its very tasty
