Quick Questions

What does rambutan taste like?

Sweet and juicy, a lot like lychee, but a little creamier and less floral.

How do I eat one?

Pinch or score the shell around the middle with your thumbnail or a small knife, twist the top half off and pop the fruit out. Eat the flesh and spit out the seed. The shell and seed are not edible. The hairs are soft, so you don't need gloves.

Are they ripe when they arrive?

Yes. Rambutan don't ripen after they're picked, so they come ready to eat. A red shell with green tips on the hairs means fresh fruit. The hairs darken over a few days, but the fruit inside is still good.

How do I store them?

Keep them in a bag in the fridge and eat them within a few days for the best flavour.
