Read all about the Rambutan here on my website: inthekitchenwi...
In this episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, I will show you how to eat the Rambutan fruit. What does a rambutan taste like? I will answer that question with a taste test. It has been over 20 years since I last ate rambutan. It was my second favorite fruit behind the mango when I was living in the Philippines. They are quite interesting looking red with hair-like spindles all over them, kind of like a sweet gum ball tree here in the United States or also kind of like a sea urchin. Rambutans are very tasty, sweet, with a thick flesh that covers a seed. It is watery and is kind of like a grape if the grape was bigger a surrounding a pit. They are definitely worth trying!
Where does rambutan come from?
They come from South East Asia and are native to the Indonesian Archipelago. They are cultivated all over the world in the tropics, like Africa, the Philippines, Costa Rica, etc. You can eat them fresh or use them in jams and jellies. They are typically red but also come in green and yellow varieties.
What are the health benefits of the rambutan fruit?
They are rich in antioxidants.
Hich in Vitamin C
Promote healthy digestion
Low in calories
Rich in fiber

Rambutan is more like saying ‘hairy-thingy’ rather than a combo of rambut and hutan. Same goes for ‘durian’ = thorny-thingy.

@Banyo__ 2 года назад

My very good friend had these on offer at a birthday party a couple of years ago. I live in a pretty diverse area, so these are easy to find whether in Asian markets, specialty markets, or even in some of our big box grocery stores. He called them Dragon's eyes, and true to that name, if you just split them straight through with the pit, they do in fact kind of look like what you imagine a dragon's eye to look like. I just finished introducing these to my parents who enjoyed them. Such is the beauty of food to be able to share your experiences with others, and have them pass that experience on to others.

I live in Hanoi Vietnam. At this time of year the rambutan are all over the fruit stores and street vendors. Fruit in Southeast Asia is always good. Next up I hope we get mangosteens. Fun to eat and interesting looking as well. I just bought some from a fruit stand today and sat outside eating them. Really don’t need a knife. You can get to the wonderful sweet inside with hands.

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

That is awesome! I have yet to find mangosteens in all the places I go. At some point I will need to do a special online order for them. It definitely depends on the rambutan, the harder ones, are not has easy to break open with your fingers.

@maryleefoley6073 Год назад

I had my first rambutan yesterday (age 71) when a friend bought a pack and shared it. She gave me most of the pack, so I had more for breakfast and found your video while eating. I pried my first 2 open with my fingernails; your method is much easier. Thanks.

Thank you, I too discovered the fruit on my first Asia trip and loved it. Still do. Trying to entice my friends into trying it and they are joking about its look! One thing is you are the first person I see use a knife. I always see and I do same, people squeeze it break the thick peel off skin then pull it off and enjoy the fruit. Thanks again, nice video!

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

You are welcome!! Yeah when I was in the Philippines that is how we ate it, by squeezing it with our hands. However a lot of times they can be hard and people with weaker hands have a hard time squeezing it until it cracks. I have noticed that the imported fruit we get here seems to be harder than when I was in the Philippines. But still able to open it with your hands. A knife is so much easier for people with weaker hands though.

Hi, Matt. That's true, all Costco's don't carry certain items. They tend to cater to the community. So if you go to a Costco in a large Asian community, you may find products from Asia. My Costco has a lot of products from China. About a year ago, I started seeing more products from Japan.

I've had these before! They're so good, but another way to eat them is to first, find a little crease, or line. Kinda like a peach, and you can cut a little bit on the line till you get through the skin. Then you can just pop it open!

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

Awesome! Yeah I ate them all the time in the Philippines when I lived there back in the late 1990s. Most people there just open them with their hands, but sometimes they can be difficult to open that way.

You seem to be a real good human being... That's what my instinct says.. Such a glorious smile.. Surprised how u could reply to almost every comment. I just tried a rambutan today after ages.. Always hesitant to try new fruits coz I completely dislike sourness. But this was so sweet. Lovely video and yeah keep smiling spread the love. Stay blessed ❤️

Houston Farmer's Market, mostly Hispanic, sells these. But no name or price on them so I just took a picture and began the search. I'll buy some next time.

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

Awesome! Let me know what you think, once you try them. If you live in Houston, I am sure there are a few International Markets there that will carry them as well.

They are good. I have friends from Vietnam that shared these with me.

Thanks for the directions. About to go cut my first rambutan 😳

@inthekitchenwithmatt 9 месяцев назад

You are very welcome!! You can also just use your hands to crack it open, which is a traditional method, but sometimes they are a little hard for people to open that way.

I just started seeing them at my local market. I bought two small ones, $3.99 per pounds, about 23 cents a piece for these two small ones. Good, interesting, but not as sweet as I expected. Could be due to shipping from Asia to San Antonio Texas. But I enjoy tasting new things also, especially fruits and veggies. Last year I tried Fresh Jack Fruit for the first time.....love it fresh....yes tastes like juicy fruit chewing gum. I haven't tried cooking it yet. When our market first started selling it, they had the giant jack fruit cut into smaller portions for those of us living alone and I enjoyed it every time I could get a smaller portion. Now, they only sell the full giant ones and way to much for me to handle or to eat. I just found your video by searching rambutan......I am looking forward to to seeing more of your videos. :-) Thanks for sharing your info with us. :-)

@bonniepritchard4249 2 года назад

I lovee these, along with lychee and longan. But they can go up to $12.00 a pound in nyc when out of season. During the summer $5. But it's worth it🙂

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

Yeah they are so yummy!! I have a video for lychee and longan as well, love both of those too. That is expensive! 5$ is a pretty good price though. :)

We in India eat similar fruit Litchi which tastes same but does not have hair,otherwise it is Litchi. Prab Pandit, Miami USA

@sarahjeantogores6089 2 года назад

Been eating rambutans for years, but i still watched your video to see if I missed out any information on how to eat it. Luckily, I didn’t. 😀 Been breaking the outer side of the fruit using my fingers only since i first started eating this while i was still a kid. But this week, i decided to start using a knife. I didn’t know why I haven’t thought of doing that before. 😂 I was enjoying eating rambutans while watching your video. ☺️

@inthekitchenwithmatt 2 года назад

Awesome! Glad you have tried them before and like them and still watched my video :). Yeah, breaking them apart with your fingers is easy enough as well depending on how hard they are, but that is definitely a common method.

I came here because a friend named john came to my house and brought with him a box of rambutans. By the time this human rambutan finished speaking about this weird ass fruit we had resorted to eating each other because we could not figure out this fruit. 10/10 good video would eat my friends again.
