Let me share the picture of the rattan fruit that is sold in the supermarket. The rattan fruit is exotic so I wonder why it is there in the supermarket. It is very sour but edible for those with tolerating taste buds. When I was young we eat that but I don't know if I can still eat that now.

@Alexandoy haha I've tasted these when I was little. I recall that I didn't like it much back then. I don't see them anymore.

If it's sour I would not want to eat it at all. I don't like sour foods.

@d_red_madelaine oh, maybe salt can deaden the sourness.

@Alexandoy The rambutan also looks like a lychee.

@LadyDuck rambutan is one of our favorites. It is now in season and tomorrow we may buy in the market.

The rambutan is a cousin of lychee. This rattan fruit is far from rambutan, very sour.

@HannahKusKus it is a close relative of the lychee just with a different shell.
