(BONUS FRUIT) Rambutan
Rambut is Malay for “hair”, and looking at the fruit, this makes perfect sense. Rambutan is native to tropical Southeast Asia (in particular the Malay-Indonesian region), and is very closely related to the lychee.
The tender fruit inside a Rambutan is described as sweet and sour, similar to a grape.
So where do you find all of these gems?
Remember there are unusual fruits and veggies at farmers’ markets, and in food stores that appeal to your gourmet side. Challenge youreself to be the first in your clique to break out a botanical product that no one else has ever heard of before.
It feels good to help expand people’s minds and tastebuds.
