Rabut is Malay for hair, and based on the picture you can tell why. This fruit is native to tropical Southeast Asia and is very closely related to lychees. The tender fruit inside of a rambutan is described oftenly as sweet and sour, kind of like a grape. Rambutans are delicious treats with tons of vitamin c and antioxidants. This is easy to find in Asia, but in the United States you’ll need some luck to find this in an Asian Grocery store.
