Rambutan is a seasonal fruit that originated in Malaysia and spread out through its neighboring Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines. But these ones are grown in Florida.
Rambutan is seasonal which is why I am featuring it today - month of September. I have started seeing them in our Chinatown area from grocery stores to street vendors. I would therefore like to share with you how to eat this delicious fruit so if you see them in the grocery stores at this time of the year, you would know how to eat them and savor its very sweet taste.
Rambutan is rich in Vitamin C, iron, Vitamin A, beta carotene, niacin, and fiber. The skins contains flavanoids thought to lower cholesterol and anti-oxidant to fight cancer. However, we do not eat the skin.
