At Alphas Produce of Boston, we’re proud to bring the world’s most intriguing fruits straight to your table. One of our most exciting offerings right now? The rambutan — a tropical gem that’s as nutritious as it is eye-catching.
What is a Rambutan?
Often described as a cousin of the lychee, the rambutan is a small, round fruit covered in soft, hair-like spikes. Don’t let its wild appearance fool you — inside is a juicy, translucent flesh with a sweet, slightly acidic flavor reminiscent of grapes and strawberries.
Native to Southeast Asia, the rambutan is growing in popularity across the U.S. thanks to its exotic look, rich flavor, and impressive health benefits.
Why Chefs and Shoppers Love Rambutan
Rambutan is more than a conversation starter — it’s a nutrient powerhouse. It’s packed with:
- Vitamin C for immune support
- Iron for energy and healthy blood
- Antioxidants that fight inflammation
- Natural sugars for a refreshing pick-me-up
Boston-area chefs are embracing rambutan in fruit salads, cocktails, desserts, and even savory sauces. And health-conscious shoppers are enjoying it as a grab-and-go snack that’s as fun to eat as it is flavorful.
