1. Product Characteristics

Common Rambutan, also known locally as native rambutan, is a domesticated variety originally derived from wild rambutan. Similar to Thai rambutan or rambutan longan types, it has a round shape with soft spines.

However, this variety features thinner flesh, the flesh does not separate from the seed, and the taste is typically a balanced sweet-and-sour flavor, making it refreshing and easy to eat.

In 100 grams of rambutan, there are approximately 82 calories, 78.04 g water, 20.87 g carbohydrates, 0.65 g protein, and 0.9 g dietary fiber. Rambutan is also rich in vitamins B and C and beneficial minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and potassium.

4. Health Benefits

Thanks to its protein and vitamin content, rambutan helps support the immune system and improve overall resistance. Consumed in moderation, it may help reduce internal heat, increase antioxidant levels, support cancer prevention, and improve the absorption of minerals such as iron and copper due to its vitamin C content.

5. Culinary Uses

When the peel begins to turn red, rambutan is at its freshest and juiciest. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and pleasantly sweet. In addition to being eaten fresh, rambutan is commonly enjoyed with chili salt, mixed into shrimp and pork salads, prepared Thai-style seasoned fruit, or cooked into sweet soups with lotus seeds.

6. Storage Instructions

After purchase, wash the rambutan thoroughly, allow it to drain, and store it in the refrigerator. Rambutan tastes best when chilled. For longer storage, the peel can be removed and the flesh stored in a sealed container or vacuum bag.
