How to eat Rambutan fruit | What does Rambutan Taste like

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Read all about the Rambutan here on my website: inthekitchenwithmatt.com/ramb...
In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, I will show you how to eat the Rambutan fruit. What does a rambutan taste like? I will answer that question with a taste test. It has been over 20 years since I last ate rambutan. It was my second favorite fruit behind the mango when I was living in the Philippines. They are quite interesting looking red with hair-like spindles all over them, kind of like a sweet gum ball tree here in the United States or also kind of like a sea urchin. Rambutans are very tasty, sweet, with a thick flesh that covers a seed. It is watery and is kind of like a grape if the grape was bigger a surrounding a pit. They are definitely worth trying!
Where does rambutan come from?
They come from South East Asia and are native to the Indonesian Archipelago. They are cultivated all over the world in the tropics, like Africa, the Philippines, Costa Rica, etc. You can eat them fresh or use them in jams and jellies. They are typically red but also come in green and yellow varieties.
What are the health benefits of the rambutan fruit?
They are rich in antioxidants.
Hich in Vitamin C
Promote healthy digestion
Low in calories
Rich in fiber

    My very good friend had these on offer at a birthday party a couple of years ago. I live in a pretty diverse area, so these are easy to find whether in Asian markets, specialty markets, or even in some of our big box grocery stores. He called them Dragon's eyes, and true to that name, if you just split them straight through with the pit, they do in fact kind of look like what you imagine a dragon's eye to look like. I just finished introducing these to my parents who enjoyed them. Such is the beauty of food to be able to share your experiences with others, and have them pass that experience on to others.

    I live in Hanoi Vietnam. At this time of year the rambutan are all over the fruit stores and street vendors. Fruit in Southeast Asia is always good. Next up I hope we get mangosteens. Fun to eat and interesting looking as well. I just bought some from a fruit stand today and sat outside eating them. Really don’t need a knife. You can get to the wonderful sweet inside with hands.

However a lot of times they can be hard and people with weaker hands have a hard time squeezing it until it cracks. I have noticed that the imported fruit we get here seems to be harder than when I was in the Philippines. But still able to open it with your hands. A knife is so much easier for people with weaker hands though.

    I just found these at my local supermarket in the southeastern US and it looked interesting enough to buy and try. I ate a few and came on KZread to see if my opinion matched with others.... and yes. The closest thing I can compare them to are really sweet white grapes. Both taste and texture. A little pricey at at over $4 a pound, but worth it to try a new flavor.

    Hi, Matt. That's true, all Costco's don't carry certain items. They tend to cater to the community. So if you go to a Costco in a large Asian community, you may find products from Asia. My Costco has a lot of products from China. About a year ago, I started seeing more products from Japan.
