Rambutan Tropical Fruit

When i travel i always like to try new things, things that i never dare to did, had before ! so this time it was all about food ! exploring new types of food.



While i was walking in carfour i found this weird looking hairy red fruits! So i asked the lady standing near it how to eat it ! 


So she was kind enough to open one for me ! As weird as it looks like closed and opened i've decided to go ahead ! 


Its Called Rambutan & it  is another one of those ‘weird looking on the outside, tasty inside’ fruits 



When you crack it with your fingers, the shell seems to be soft from out side but harder in the core, white like boiled egg shape from inside.


Good rambutans are roundish and red with fresh looking hairs and firm to the touch. They should not be too watery or  sour.


I don't know how to describe the taste to you ! but its not sour nor sweet some thing exactly in the middle ! Exotic taste ! 


There is a seed inside don't eat it!
