The Rambutan is a strange looking type of fruit that is on display at the Kensington Market in Chinatown, Toronto when it is season. The exterior is a bright red color having yellow or green hairs protruding from it and white insides that are sweet and juicy.
Sometimes the Rambutan is hard to open and a knife is needed to work your way inside to get to the actual fruit. It is considered to be an exotic fruit to people outside of Southeast Asia where it originally grows.
The first part of the word Rambutan (Rambut) means hairy which describes the outside of this fruit and it is in the same family as the lychee. They are both very close when you get to the inside but the outside of the Rambutan is what puts it in a class of its own.
A mature Rambutan tree can produce about two hundred pounds of fruit per year. When they are ready for reaping, you will then find the Rambutan fruit at the market stalls in Chinatown in Toronto, Ontario. ... continue below the picture...
