Rambutan: The Lychee of the Philippines

The best description of this fruit is like having a lychee's meat. The only difference is that the size is smaller. It is considered a native fruit in Southeast Asia. I am not sure if they are available in European and western countries. I assumed that they are being imported. Have you tasted 'rambutan'? Do you have this fruit? Image Shavkat

@Shavkat There are so many fruits and vegetables which we hardly know. Many fruits are region or country specific. It's only thru online discussions that we come to know.

I can imagine how expensive they are. If it is peak season here, they are like diamonds.

@Lavanya15 We do have trees in my mom's hometown. Because of this pandemic, we cannot visit the place. I am sure I can have them for free.

@Shavkat depends on the seller. Some seller sells too high

I usually wait for grandma rambutan orchard to ripe and can simply eat there
