Rambutans have a bizarre, hairy exterior that conceals a smooth, sweet white fruit within. You can easily peel open a rambutan by splitting the skin apart with your nails and spreading it back, much as you would peel an orange. Don’t worry about the spines; they look sharp but are actually quite soft and bend back easily.
Many people describe the flavor of rambutans as similar to that of the lychee fruit, but slightly more tart. They’re usually eaten plain as a snack, though they are also delicious muddled into cocktails or paired with other fruits in a tropical salad. You can also use them as a substitute for lychees.
