Rambutan

A fruit native to Southeast Asia which we used to enjoy when I was growing up in Indonesia and Singapore.
Attempts at cultivating them in the U.S. have failed, but they are imported, and available in Asian Supermarkets here.
The fruit is under the hairy skin. Rambutan are delicious and healthy. They are related to lychee. The taste is somewhat similar.

The color and the "hairy skin" match well with the bowl. V It reminds me our travels in Thailand or Indonesia...

I love lychees so bet I'd like these - very nicely portrayed here - great colours. V

A fond memory in Brooklyn, NY 0f the 1940's was eating lunch at the local Chinese restaurants and having Lychees for dessert. These look exotic and presented so well. Thank you for the experience.

An unusual looking exotic fruit. Photographed so well with the dark background and blue bowl to show off the red. V

Funny how some stuff grow only in a specific area and nowhere else! Much like maple syrup here, Quebec produces about 90% of all the maple syrup in the world, they tried to have it in other places, the same trees, but ... no syrup at all! I wonder what Rambutan tastes like! Nice shot
