Yep it's delicious I'm 52 years old and it's the first time I see this fruit. I guess I'm still discovering life wonders It's amazing this planet we live in
@@inthekitchenwithmatt there where about 4-5 pieces in each pkg, I'll go back tomorrow and get some, I think I'll use them when juicing or making smoothies, thx a bunch!
In malay language or indonesian language, rambut which is mean hair, and utan or hutan is jungle. This fruits is sweet and i really love it. Thank you for sharing this video, i really enjoying it. 😁👍🏼
My very good friend had these on offer at a birthday party a couple of years ago. I live in a pretty diverse area, so these are easy to find whether in Asian markets, specialty markets, or even in some of our big box grocery stores. He called them Dragon's eyes, and true to that name, if you just split them straight through with the pit, they do in fact kind of look like what you imagine a dragon's eye to look like. I just finished introducing these to my parents who enjoyed them. Such is the beauty of food to be able to share your experiences with others, and have them pass that experience on to others.
I believe I tried one several years ago while working with a lady from the Philippines. I remember liking it but just forgot about getting some for myself. I am retired now and was in Costco today and bought a carton. I didn't remember how to eat one so thank you for this video. Looking forward now to eating them.
just had rambutan for the first time today! we cut it in half and the kids and I were shocked at how much it looked like an eyeball! so cool & it was very delicious. Thanks for your video ;)
I love UA-cam..thanks Matt, I rcvd a package of these from my neighbor and I didnt want to stand there asking 20 questions...you covered them all! Thanks
Just bought these today for my son and I to try. Super excited! Thank you for this video. Simple, to the point and easy to follow along (great when you’re trying new things).
I live in Hanoi Vietnam. At this time of year the rambutan are all over the fruit stores and street vendors. Fruit in Southeast Asia is always good. Next up I hope we get mangosteens. Fun to eat and interesting looking as well. I just bought some from a fruit stand today and sat outside eating them. Really don’t need a knife. You can get to the wonderful sweet inside with hands.
That is awesome! I have yet to find mangosteens in all the places I go. At some point I will need to do a special online order for them. It definitely depends on the rambutan, the harder ones, are not has easy to break open with your fingers.
Bought this at Costco. Didn’t use any tool (ie. Knife). Just used my fingers to open the shell and to poke the fruit out. It tastes like lychee, but sourer 🌞
Hi Matt, My husband said that a Vietnamese gal at work brought a bunch in for everyone to try a while ago. While watching your video he remembered & said that these are really good. Thanks for the education on fruits around the world. You always have fun & informative videos. 😊
Yes I had them at a Halloween party about 10 years ago. I didn't know what they were called, but recently found them at a fresh market in Kansas City, Missouri. I have been looking for them for a long time, you always remember that taste.
I just bought some at my local Walmart. I've never seen these before. I googled it and decided to be adventurous and give them a try. I like them! On first taste, they're not overly sweet, they do remind me of a firmer grape texture. I would definitely buy them again 😁
I had my first rambutan yesterday (age 71) when a friend bought a pack and shared it. She gave me most of the pack, so I had more for breakfast and found your video while eating. I pried my first 2 open with my fingernails; your method is much easier. Thanks.
Glad you got to try them!! Yeah a common method is to just crack it with your hands and peel it open, but the knife is easier in my opinion. You are very welcome!
Noticed these at Safeway! Expensive, at 2 fruit for a dollar. However, I couldn't resist trying a new food, so I bought a couple! Then I came here and tried it while watching your video. It is like a slightly sweeter, huge green grape! I could see cocktails being super tasty with this fruit, especially with citrus or mint.
in indonesia, for 1 buck or 2 you could have a branch of it, rambutan kinda cheap here. even you can get free have rambutan if there's a tree of it. i remember getting yelled by my teacher when i took and ate rambutan from the tree at my school lol
I went to my Asian supermarket today to do some grocery shopping and I seen these beauties always wanted to try them I guess today is the day thank you so much for showing us how to eat this beautiful fruit✓
That is awesome! If you want to find them, try the nearest Asian/International market to where you live now, if there is one. They will probably have them when it is the season. And thanks to your father for serving!
I am currently having the vacation in the Philippines and my mom bought me rambutan! I tried it for the first time and it was delicious, but the part I was worrying about was peeling off a piece of the fruit and getting the skin from the seed stuck in it, but I’m glad to hear that it was still edible 😅
Awesome! And you are welcome. You can also try just pinching it firmly in your hand until it cracks then open it without using a knife. That is how I originally used to eat them and is a common method. Sometimes they are kind of hard to open that way though.
I really enjoyed this video. I loved all ur descriptions of the texture, flavor and how to eat it properly. Now don't mind me as I go binge watch all ur other videos. Thanks again for all the great information!!
This is my new favorite fruit. It taste something like a honeydew and a kiwi with the texture of a clam or oyster. It’s kind of weird, but it’s amazing.
Thank you, I too discovered the fruit on my first Asia trip and loved it. Still do. Trying to entice my friends into trying it and they are joking about its look! One thing is you are the first person I see use a knife. I always see and I do same, people squeeze it break the thick peel off skin then pull it off and enjoy the fruit. Thanks again, nice video!
You are welcome!! Yeah when I was in the Philippines that is how we ate it, by squeezing it with our hands. However a lot of times they can be hard and people with weaker hands have a hard time squeezing it until it cracks. I have noticed that the imported fruit we get here seems to be harder than when I was in the Philippines. But still able to open it with your hands. A knife is so much easier for people with weaker hands though.
I happen to see these at a Hispanic store, because I didn't know much about them I passed, now after watching your video I'm definitely buying. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm 61, and this is the first time I'm eating this fruit. I did find them at my local HEB. They taste more like Lychee but not as strong a flavor. I will buy these again
You are very welcome! Another method I didn't show on how to open it is to squeeze and pinch it with your fingers and it will crack open, but sometimes they are too hard for that. But that is a very common method as well. Let me know what you think once you try it!
I just found these at my local supermarket in the southeastern US and it looked interesting enough to buy and try. I ate a few and came on UA-cam to see if my opinion matched with others.... and yes. The closest thing I can compare them to are really sweet white grapes. Both taste and texture. A little pricey at at over $4 a pound, but worth it to try a new flavor.
I also just found them last week, in New Orleans area! They were on sale actually, so I could not resist picking them up. Thanks to this video, I was able to open them so my lovely daughter and I could try them. Pretty good!
I recently had my first rambutan. A friend brought some in to work. It was so delicious. I found some and am taking them to a family visit. It will be the first time I have seen my siblings since before COVID. Very excited to share this with them.
Never heard of these before but saw them at a grocery store yesterday and wanted to try it. Probably my new favorite fruit. It reminds me of a quenepa, you eat those the same way too.
An Asian here that lives in Malaysia you can get this anywhere and I eat it almost everyday now lol, it's really really delicious, one of my favourite fruit I grow up eating it.
Me and my dad went to this asian market and saw 5 people getting tons of these so we decided to get 3 of them to try it out, tasted it and its very tasty! That says a lot because im picky for exotic things. Great video!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt wow your method was so much easier, online it told me to slice the skin off, but cutting it down the middle was so effective, ill definitely buy a lot like the other people next time I'm there
@@prototypenick8373 Another thing you can try is pinching it hard it will crack and you can open it. No need for a knife, that is a common way to open it. Other people crack it with their teeth, haha. I like the pinching method and the knife method.
I believe I bought them one time cause I wanted to see what they were like. But I always try new and different thing's. But I love it when I come across healthy thing's.
You are welcome! I didn't show the common way of just breaking them open with your hands, because sometimes they are a little hard, but most people in the Southeastern Asian countries open them that way.
I just bought a whole flat of rambutan at my local Asian market and I ate them all in two days. To me it takes like a vanilla grape. It is tied with the mango for my favorite fruit.
Wow! Wow! That is too cool. I can't say i will get to try this but clicked because it's so unique and at least i'll know how if i ever get the opportunity lol
Awesome! Yeah I have noticed them popping up in normal stores other than the International market where I normally buy them. Seems like they are getting a bit more popular in the States.
Thanks, Matt. I picked up some from my Costco. Thankfully, I live near a Costco with a diverse Asian community. So via Costco, I was introduced to Jack fruit and fish skins.
You are welcome! You are the second person that I heard found these at Costco. I haven't seen them at my Costco. So I always have to go to my local Asian market to find them, which I don't mind going to, because there is so much good stuff there that they don't have at my supermarket.
Hi, Matt. That's true, all Costco's don't carry certain items. They tend to cater to the community. So if you go to a Costco in a large Asian community, you may find products from Asia. My Costco has a lot of products from China. About a year ago, I started seeing more products from Japan.
@@awhites8061 Awesome! I recently just saw Rambutan in my local normal supermarket. They have a little section where they sell more exotic fruits, and they are finally starting to branch out even more with the fruit.
You are very welcome!! You can also just use your hands to crack it open, which is a traditional method, but sometimes they are a little hard for people to open that way.
I just saw these at the local Walmart here. It’s the only grocery store we have in my county and I plan on getting some and I want to make sure that I might like it because if it was sour tasting, but it looks like it might be good.
Houston Farmer's Market, mostly Hispanic, sells these. But no name or price on them so I just took a picture and began the search. I'll buy some next time.
Awesome! Let me know what you think, once you try them. If you live in Houston, I am sure there are a few International Markets there that will carry them as well.
Yes I ate it for the first time a month ago even though it grows here in 🇬🇾 Guyana eversince I taste that juicy sweet fruit I buy evertime I go to the market place
I just tried this today so I tried to eat the fuzzy part and then realized that I bit into it and it something yummy inside and a seat so I ate the yummy stuff we have these at our local Walmart store I found them
I came here because a friend named john came to my house and brought with him a box of rambutans. By the time this human rambutan finished speaking about this weird ass fruit we had resorted to eating each other because we could not figure out this fruit. 10/10 good video would eat my friends again.
Been eating rambutans for years, but i still watched your video to see if I missed out any information on how to eat it. Luckily, I didn’t. 😀 Been breaking the outer side of the fruit using my fingers only since i first started eating this while i was still a kid. But this week, i decided to start using a knife. I didn’t know why I haven’t thought of doing that before. 😂 I was enjoying eating rambutans while watching your video. ☺️
Awesome! Glad you have tried them before and like them and still watched my video :). Yeah, breaking them apart with your fingers is easy enough as well depending on how hard they are, but that is definitely a common method.
I just started seeing them at my local market. I bought two small ones, $3.99 per pounds, about 23 cents a piece for these two small ones. Good, interesting, but not as sweet as I expected. Could be due to shipping from Asia to San Antonio Texas. But I enjoy tasting new things also, especially fruits and veggies. Last year I tried Fresh Jack Fruit for the first time.....love it fresh....yes tastes like juicy fruit chewing gum. I haven't tried cooking it yet. When our market first started selling it, they had the giant jack fruit cut into smaller portions for those of us living alone and I enjoyed it every time I could get a smaller portion. Now, they only sell the full giant ones and way to much for me to handle or to eat. I just found your video by searching rambutan......I am looking forward to to seeing more of your videos. :-) Thanks for sharing your info with us. :-)
You seem to be a real good human being... That's what my instinct says.. Such a glorious smile.. Surprised how u could reply to almost every comment. I just tried a rambutan today after ages.. Always hesitant to try new fruits coz I completely dislike sourness. But this was so sweet. Lovely video and yeah keep smiling spread the love. Stay blessed ❤️
Yep it's delicious I'm 52 years old and it's the first time I see this fruit. I guess I'm still discovering life wonders It's amazing this planet we live in
So many fruits to taste and so little time, haha. :)
And i think i am late cuz I haven't eaten one in 13 years
All created by our Lord and our God, he loves you brother!
I'm 35 and just tried my first don't give up guys/gals 🤣
It looks like something that would grow on an alien planet or something from a game like Ark Survival Evolved 😂
I'm here because I just found these at my local 99c store and wanted to know how to eat them, thanku for the video.
You are welcome, Crystal!! That is awesome, how many did you get for 99c? Just one for a few for that price?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt there where about 4-5 pieces in each pkg, I'll go back tomorrow and get some, I think I'll use them when juicing or making smoothies, thx a bunch!
damn thats expensive
@@dhanajon5528 yeah it’s because it’s an exotic fruit, like the dragon fruit they are super expensive but definitely worth it!!
@@BBL_Inc but its not an exotic fruit... Well not where i live at least. Super cheap and theres an abundant supply of them. Same for the dragon fruit
In malay language or indonesian language, rambut which is mean hair, and utan or hutan is jungle. This fruits is sweet and i really love it. Thank you for sharing this video, i really enjoying it. 😁👍🏼
You are welcome! Yes it is such an amazing fruit.
Rambutan is more like saying ‘hairy-thingy’ rather than a combo of rambut and hutan. Same goes for ‘durian’ = thorny-thingy.
Thanks for showing us how to "peel" and eat this fruit. Got some at my local Trader Joe's, and excited to try it now thanks to your video! :)
You are very welcome, Christy! People also just bite it to break it open or squeeze it with their fingers. But I prefer using the knife, haha.

@@verataylor8295 awesome!

That is so cool, Annette! :) You are very welcome. :)
I've never had a rambutan but I really wanna try them! They remind me of lychees, which are actually one of my favorite fruits!
They are in the same family of fruits. So if you like lychees you will probably like Rambutan. I love them both!
I just tried some for the first time ever. It taste EXACTLY like a sweet coconut. Delicious like crazy
There in Walmart now
I love UA-cam..thanks Matt, I rcvd a package of these from my neighbor and I didnt want to stand there asking 20 questions...you covered them all! Thanks

Yes there are many ways to eat them. Some people even just bit them. They are in the same family as lychee.
Mine wasn’t sour it tasted like a exactly like a grape and I bought it at Costco Sheffield
Yeah I call it lychee for real
Sour means it is raw

Awesome! Yeah I have noticed them popping up in normal stores other than the International market where I normally buy them. Seems like they are getting a bit more popular in the States.
Thanks, Matt. I picked up some from my Costco. Thankfully, I live near a Costco with a diverse Asian community. So via Costco, I was introduced to Jack fruit and fish skins.
You are welcome! You are the second person that I heard found these at Costco. I haven't seen them at my Costco. So I always have to go to my local Asian market to find them, which I don't mind going to, because there is so much good stuff there that they don't have at my supermarket.
Hi, Matt. That's true, all Costco's don't carry certain items. They tend to cater to the community. So if you go to a Costco in a large Asian community, you may find products from Asia. My Costco has a lot of products from China. About a year ago, I started seeing more products from Japan.
@@awhites8061 Awesome! I recently just saw Rambutan in my local normal supermarket. They have a little section where they sell more exotic fruits, and they are finally starting to branch out even more with the fruit.
I just tried it. Delicious. I bought 1.5 lbs for $5 at my local Costco
Awesome, Stela! Glad you tried them and liked them. :)
They are good. I have friends from Vietnam that shared these with me.
Good indeed!
Thanks for the directions. About to go cut my first rambutan 😳
You are very welcome!! You can also just use your hands to crack it open, which is a traditional method, but sometimes they are a little hard for people to open that way.
One of my go-to fruits from the Asian markets
Awesome!
I just saw these at the local Walmart here. It’s the only grocery store we have in my county and I plan on getting some and I want to make sure that I might like it because if it was sour tasting, but it looks like it might be good.
Awesome! Let me know when you try it and how you like it. Most of the time they are nice and sweet as long as they are ripe.
I didn't know how to eat this....thank you for teaching me!
Yum!
You are very welcome!!
I eat this fruit all the time , I am married to a Filipina And I have also tried the Mongosteen fruit
Awesome!! Mangosteen is amazing! I reviewed that fruit here on my channel as well.
My mom got me some of these a few days ago and I love them. I call them the sea archon fruit.😹 there good tho
Awesome! Glad you got to eat them.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt imagine making juice out of it without the seed
@@dogman387 It would be sooo good!
archon? did you mean urchin?
Just tried this fruit & it's so good
Awesome!! Glad you tried it and liked it!
Houston Farmer's Market, mostly Hispanic, sells these. But no name or price on them so I just took a picture and began the search. I'll buy some next time.
Awesome! Let me know what you think, once you try them. If you live in Houston, I am sure there are a few International Markets there that will carry them as well.
Yes I ate it for the first time a month ago even though it grows here in 🇬🇾 Guyana eversince I taste that juicy sweet fruit I buy evertime I go to the market place
Glad you tried it!
I saw theses at the Mexican food store, I'm gonna try them out. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! Let me know if you like them after trying them. And you are welcome!
Yes I love them having some right now

I just tried this today so I tried to eat the fuzzy part and then realized that I bit into it and it something yummy inside and a seat so I ate the yummy stuff we have these at our local Walmart store I found them

Eating some juicy big Rambutans picked from the home garden, while watching this. 😌

@@inthekitchenwithmatt Absolutely.
I just tried the rambutan fruit. It is sweet and tasty. Yum!
Glad you tried it and liked it! :)
I came here because a friend named john came to my house and brought with him a box of rambutans. By the time this human rambutan finished speaking about this weird ass fruit we had resorted to eating each other because we could not figure out this fruit. 10/10 good video would eat my friends again.
Awesome! Glad you got to try it and yes it looks totally weird but taste really good! haha
I love these and Trader Joes had them this week fairly cheap.

I just picked some up at the store and I love them!!!! So yummy and flavorful!
Awesome! Glad you tried them and liked them!
Been eating rambutans for years, but i still watched your video to see if I missed out any information on how to eat it. Luckily, I didn’t. 😀 Been breaking the outer side of the fruit using my fingers only since i first started eating this while i was still a kid. But this week, i decided to start using a knife. I didn’t know why I haven’t thought of doing that before. 😂 I was enjoying eating rambutans while watching your video. ☺️
Awesome! Glad you have tried them before and like them and still watched my video :). Yeah, breaking them apart with your fingers is easy enough as well depending on how hard they are, but that is definitely a common method.
just brought these today can’t wait to try them !
Awesome!!
I love rambutan!
Same with me!! :)
Trying these as. Watching the video… HEAVEN!!! I don’t like the opening process or the seed skin though
Awesome, glad you are trying them! :)
I just started seeing them at my local market. I bought two small ones, $3.99 per pounds, about 23 cents a piece for these two small ones. Good, interesting, but not as sweet as I expected. Could be due to shipping from Asia to San Antonio Texas. But I enjoy tasting new things also, especially fruits and veggies. Last year I tried Fresh Jack Fruit for the first time.....love it fresh....yes tastes like juicy fruit chewing gum. I haven't tried cooking it yet. When our market first started selling it, they had the giant jack fruit cut into smaller portions for those of us living alone and I enjoyed it every time I could get a smaller portion. Now, they only sell the full giant ones and way to much for me to handle or to eat. I just found your video by searching rambutan......I am looking forward to to seeing more of your videos. :-) Thanks for sharing your info with us. :-)
After reading some of the comments......I am 75 now and this is the first I have tasted a rambutan. Gonna buy some more next shopping trip. :-)
That is awesome! And you are welcome!
Glad you got to taste them and liked them!
Rambut = hair. So when it have so many hair, they call it Rambutan
Same like Durian. duri = thorn. So many thorn, they call it Durian😌
Yep!
You seem to be a real good human being... That's what my instinct says.. Such a glorious smile.. Surprised how u could reply to almost every comment.
I just tried a rambutan today after ages.. Always hesitant to try new fruits coz I completely dislike sourness. But this was so sweet. Lovely video and yeah keep smiling spread the love. Stay blessed ❤️
Thank you, I appreciate it!
