Peeled rambutan flesh can be easily stored in the fridge. You can see that the fruit is round and slippery, so we peel off the flesh before serving it to them. When buying rambutans, it is better to select those that are still attached to the branches as these fruits last longer in storage.Īs a safety precaution, we do not give the whole fruit to young children as they may accidently swallow it and choke to death.

Rambutans are full of vitamins and minerals. We eat the whitish, translucent flesh wrapped around the single seed. The best varieties have thick, sweet flesh.

To eat the fruits, we need to peel off the skin first. The rambutan is closely related to the lychee and longan. I had to cut them down. Soon the trees were gone forever, and now, only cherised memories remain. When I moved to my current house, the new owners didn't want any plants or trees because they wanted to cement the whole area for parking their lorry and cars. It also was a good aiming target for some neighbouring kids to practice their lastic (catapult) skills on the poor little tweety birds. It was home to the birds, some ferns and even provided food for the bats. The trees provided shade for my children to play their outdoor games and they enjoyed riding on the wooden swing that was tied to the branches of our rambutan tree. When I got married and moved to the city, I had a big rambutan tree, a jackfruit tree and also 2 mango trees in my corner house compound. a street magic show, street medicine man demonstrating his stuff within a large crowd of people. to get a clearer view of certain exciting events or happenings, e.g.

When rambutan fruits were not in season, people might also climb the tree e.g. Some moms, grandmas, sisters and kids could achieve this feat too. It was quite necessary to climb the tree to harvest the fruits, eventhough we had a long stick or pole with hook attached.

If there was a rambutan tree at home, there was bound to be a family member who can climb this tree. The tree was just next to my bedroom window and I used to fantasized how nice it would be if there was a tree house/playhouse with a ladder from my window to the tree! Whenever rambutans were in season (usually twice a year), the tree would be loaded with rambutan fruits and we would have so much we could not finish all, so we distributed them to our neighbours in bunches and baskets. Rambutan trees are commonly found here, especially in the villages and countryside. When I was little, we had a rambutan tree in my house compound. The rambutan fruits turn from green to bright red or yellow when riped. “We Have Tico Berry at KLCC Park”, a copyrighted post, was written for My Nice Garden blog by Autumn Belle on November 5th, 2010.
