Description

Rambutan (scientifically known as Nephelium lappaceum) is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. The name "rambutan" comes from the Malay word for "hair," referring to the fruit's distinctive hairy appearance. Rambutan is small to medium in size, with a leathery red or yellow skin covered in soft, hair-like spines. The flesh inside is translucent, juicy, and sweet, encasing a single seed. Its flavor is often compared to lychee, with a slightly more acidic and aromatic note.
