They import those fruits from South America during winter here. We have very little right now, all people are vacationing at the beaches.

@Alexandoy I miss too, but I am too scared to go to Italy or Spain, too many contaminated people there.

I've never tried that but I tried lychee and it was not for me. Curious to try the rambutan though. Not sure if I've seen it here. Maybe the Asian supermarket might have it.

The shelf life of Rambutan is short so I don't think it can reach your place.

@lovebuglena maybe you can try. I just don't know the price because it is imported.

@amitkokiladitya it has a short shelf life. That means it will be rotten before it reaches you.
