Rambutan

Rambutan is a tropical plant of the Nefelium genus, which is part of the Sapindaceae family. It is an evergreen fruit tree. Rambutan is a close relative of tropical fruits such as mamonchillo, longan and lychee.
The rambutan tree grows to a height of 10 meters. The top is crowned with a branched, spreading crown. Rambutan leaves are paired, consisting of 2-8 ovoid or oval leathery leaves. It blooms with small flowers gathered in panicle inflorescences at the ends of the branches.
Rambutan fruit is oval or spherical, 3-6 centimeters in size. Fruits grow in large (up to 30 pieces) bunches. The peel of an unripe rambutan is green in color, which, as it ripens, changes color first to yellow-orange and then to bright red.
The flesh of rambutan is gelatinous, white or reddish and fragrant. Its taste is sweet and sour, reminiscent of a good variety of green grapes. The pulp contains a brown oval seed, up to 3 centimeters long.
