Have You Ever Seen Such a Strange Looking Fruit?

I sure hadn't! This is called Rambutan - from Guatamala and supposed to be quite good for you. You score it around the center and break it open. The inside is white and feels like a hard-boiled egg but sweet like a grape. There is a pit in the center that is poisonous.

I sometimes am able to volunteer at our local food pantry and that is where I came across this. There were quite a few left over :) - but you can't hold over fresh produce.

@thewatersphotos Yes, and it was actually pretty tasty.

That is an odd one. It looks great against the black.

No, but it does create a nice shot on the black background.

Interesting fruit. Nice capture.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, yes, I have. We used to eat them a lot when we lived in Indonesia. Very similar in flavour to the lychee. Nice image.

I've seen them but not tried them.
