Native to Southeast Asian countries: Rambutan

The fruit of the rambutan has a sweet, slightly tart taste and a grape-like texture.

In size, it resembles a small kiwi fruit and hides a small pit inside. Its skin is red and covered in spikes. This fruit contains a range of nutrients, including vitamin C and manganese.

It is easy to find rambutans in certain parts of the world such as Malaysia and Indonesia, but they can be extremely difficult to find in other regions.

THE SKIN AND PIT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN

They spoil quite quickly; you can only find them fresh or canned in specialty stores.

Avoid eating the skin and the pit of the fruit.

It is a great snack on its own, but it also goes well as a tropical addition to ice cream, fruit salads, cheese platters, or your next smoothie or yogurt breakfast bowl.
