Eating Rambutan!

[@Kecoroe]

haha when you opened it I immediately thought of EOS lip balm

[@Jesusthelivingsun]

same lol

[@youaxiong7072]

Maybe that where the CEO got his idea from.😂

[@StainlessForks]

me when i open rambutan i think its an eye staring at me

[@kontonieaktywne773]

Kecoroe looool xD

[@cutelilbunnycrafts4405]

That's what I thought of when I first cut one open, too! xD

[@kc5067]

Which US states are you growing your Veggies? Thanks

[@laurapage7294]

I see most of your videos. Do you have any suggestions as to where seeds or young plants can be bought. I am in Louisiana

[@TarrinLupo]

Ohhhh man I want to try these.

[@JazenValencia]

Hey Dr Lupo

[@emmagacha635]

Dr. Tarrin P Lupo Try them they are so yummy and juicy

[@leokinney3907]

They are really good 🤤🤤

[@animationmaker8451]

They sell it at Wal-mart.

[@danina8163]

Where do you take your tropical seeds from?I'm from Europe and I can't get seeds from this fruits

[@willkeno]

When are they normally in season?

[@gravewalker1632]

My cousin gave me some to take home. I cut them in half and it was easier to eat. I also ate the seed which tasted like a basic nut, very neutral in flavor. Is there any discussion about eating the seed or its benefits ? I also eat the seeds from apples.

[@tienmckinnon1662]

Do you know the seed could eat them too. They are also good for you.

[@madisonholland1753]

Can you eat the papery bark/coating surrounding the pit?

[@raymondaldrete4587]

is it better then papaya??

[@gilnech9310]

raymond aldrete you will state your opinion if you try it

[@misssa7276]

Yeees

[@monsieuriey]

10 times more better

[@Zekersaurusrex]

what do you do about the shell that's around the seed?

[@ejdesimone1]

Thank you, it's a delicious fruit, discovered it in Florida, can you eat the pit/seed in the middle?

[@natz7577]

it looks like an EOS lip balm😹

[@benjan4ever]

can I plant it here in Texas?

[@Thisisnotatest257]

These are so good! They're sweet and refreshing. And yes, I would describe them as candy!

[@ameliarose727]

I'm salivating! I grew up on Asian fruits and love them the best - rambutans, longans, coconuts, mangoes, lychees, jackfruits, durians, mangosteens, gauva, custard apples, persimmons, and a little fruit called trai coc or qua coc. I'm pretty fortunate that despite living in the West, the Vietnamese branch of my family knew where to source a variety of Asian produce and products back when these items were not so readily available. They made sure I knew the food from that part of my heritage.

[@gordonspears6320]

All delicious fruits, and all very popular in Asia. But guava and custard apple are both native to the American tropics.

[@pacitastratton8614]

That's wonderful! I do have a few that I planted last year. Not all of them survived the winter in Mobile Alabama but the ones that did look healthy.

[@henrytauch8383]

Are you in Hawaii ?

[@wendiland]

I'm in So Cal, but I do have a few videos on tropical fruits that was shot in Hawaii. Thanks for watching!

[@TSMSaetro]

yes

[@janiceb4679]

You are just about the cutest personality on KZbin

[@wendiland]

+Janice B Aww Thank you Janice. Hope you'll enjoy more upcoming videos!

[@janiceb4679]

+Wendi Phan Wanted to come back to say, my family and I sampled our first rambutan from the local Asian market. A familiar flavor and texture that is hard to place. We liked them very much. They come in a beautiful and amazing package. I could eat that whole plate you have there. Your excitement about these cannot be overstated!

[@sunnyside12345678]

I'm glad we're able to get them from the Asian market. The canned variety isn't the same.

[@NachoTV]

Janice B I tried growing one once but it never made it. Maybe with more tlc it could make it in California

[@janiceb4679]

Oh, so yummy. You do not exaggerate!

[@mosthated8190]

Where at in SoCal do you purchase these fruits at ? I'm I'm the Same Bernardino County and I'm looking for these exotic fruits !

[@deltaco43]

Also is that like your own personal garden or a workplace garden?

[@wendiland]

It's our home garden. :)

[@hw7348]

They have these at Walmart. They are pretty good. They just taste like sweet grapes to me!

[@oceaniareece9470]

will it do good in hawaii

[@deltaco43]

Very beautiful fruit, can I suggest the black sapote.

[@wendiland]

I did filmed a short video on that, stay tuned!

[@RizReyes]

NOMS!!! A blast from my past back home in the Philippines! I adore your enthusiasm!

[@marzan6857]

I don't know how many times I have starred at exotic fruits and wondered how to eat and prepare them when I lived in the city. Thank you for shedding light on such a simple and yet complex matter as in my case. Where I live now in Northern Canada I once in awhile see Star Fruit. Do you know how to prepare or eat them? We love your videos and thanks for the education.

[@randallbell8887]

do you eat the seed

[@RedroomStudios]

I leave mine out on the counter... they dont last long enough to have to worry about them drying out! they are addictive. I'm living in Mexico now and they have just started appearing in markets and street vendors in the past couple months. so apparently it's rambutan season here. been buying them once a week.

[@wendiland]

It’s nice that we can get them from Mexico instead of Asia now. They are fresher and cheaper.

[@gegeeluds1137]

is it ok to eat the outer skin of the seed?

[@Holisticbrit]

So when I try to eat these the skin from the seed seems to be stuck on the flesh, is that still safe to eat since the pit is toxic?

[@wendiland]

It should be fine. I sometimes swallow the skin that's attached to flesh as well.

[@Mute2024]

Had those in Thailand two years ago yum!

[@Zerosen89]

I have never heard of that fruit before, South Florida and Oklahoma Walmarts don't carry them.

[@Khyiah2012]

I live in Oakland and they carry these in the Alameda Safeway. I personally enjoy eating them because people rarely know what this is lol. I just hate how thin the flesh can be in comparison to the seed size.

[@kendallwatson8561]

Beautiful. Love your passion for this fruit. I'll be eating it for the first time soon.

[@thebasiclife8307]

I loved it. can you do a video on your pomegranate bush. I saw it in one of your previous videos.

[@wendiland]

No problem! I'll make a video on it for you!

[@thebasiclife8307]

+Wendi Phan that would be amazing

[@itchyfeettravelbugoz4760]

is your garden all fruits plants look so great

[@franzb69]

rambutan is also natively growing in the PH. my sister can eat a kilo of that stuff all to herself

[@bumbaclod77]

I wonder if those taste as good as tide pods

[@naturalliving2011]

I had my first experience eating them in Thailand. SO YUMMY 😋

[@Andy-np1bk]

We do have those ones here in mexico I used to eat them all the time! Loved the video :D

[@ZE308AC]

I bought some leeches but I think they were rambutan, how can you tell the difference?

[@wendiland]

Sounds like it was mislabeled, but leeches are delicious too! Rambutan is the one shown in this video, and Leeches are small size, round, has more of a snake skin patten, and does not have the spikes like rambutan. Which fruit did you eat?

[@atikaaretha1810]

C Antonio difference skin and taste

[@sumalathashetty4713]

Wendi Phan more about tambourine in kannada

[@swizzleproxi4810]

C Antonio exactly they look and taste the same?

[@gilnech9310]

C Antonio go look it up side by side

[@manifestluck]

I just got some at Walmart in Michigan, didn't know what they were had to try them.

[@martysgarden]

Yummy, the Rambutam,,I ate lots of those when I lived in Thailand,, Love your vids Wendi! Happy Gardening Marty Ware (from Australia)

[@souha555]

how to plant is fruit if you no

[@x_menh4644]

We get this a lot too in North East India, Nagaland state, particularly Longleng, (an area of Phoms) would be glad to know if you share some ways to preserve it longer than a week...

[@chilenemairs8038]

Bought some today on the streets in ocho Rios st Ann, Jamaica...I thought it was lychee at first, but when I got closer I saw the difference

[@DeathClanners]

I really love those. Are you vietnamese?

[@MrRwosio]

Hello! My name is Emily, and I was just wondering if it's okay to eat the seed of this fruit??? I have heard so many different theories as to whether it can kill you or not. My husband and I were eating some rambutan one day and we decided to each eat a half of one of the seeds, before we had ever heard they were bad for you, and nothing happened. I don't know if we just got lucky or if they are fine to eat. If you can eat them is there a limit? Like no more than five a day or you need to cook them beforehand?? . Thank you!

[@aadi8816]

Actually It should be eaten Without seed Getting in.. (One of my Neighbourhood guy died due to swallowing it)..so Better eat on the flesh

[@StainlessForks]

dont eat the seed

[@vaultedeel]

How do these differ from lychee fruit?

[@melissapolintan1095]

In philippines we just open it by our mouth or by using our fingers

[@altexlan415]

you heard about rambutan but you ever heard Pulasan? it look like rambutan but shorter hair a bit bigger

[@brandischunk4050]

Great video! So helpful, thanks! We picked this up at Wal-Mart today and are making a homeschool lesson out of it. Great job!

[@Isabel-pw6pp]

This is my favorite fruit!! I tried it when I was in Mexico and it was the best thing ever!!!

[@reshmivv992]

Mam.. we can eat the seed also.. that's like cashew nut

[@cherylsieurattan5182]

Yes once you start to eat you can't stop 😍

[@baconandeggs80]

There's an Asian market that I go to, to buy dragon fruit (which sadly are dwindling away at markets), and jackfruit. I was thrilled to find rambutan, and lychee but they were all brown. A mountain of bags of these brown fruits. I couldn't believe the market was selling them. I've seen KZbin folks who live in Hawaii, and the rambutans are red but with more red hair. Is that the freshest state? I live in Southern California, but maybe I do need to move to Hawaii!

[@TherealNrc0611]

Mine was. Brown was that ok

[@taeismybias588]

Omg yess I love these fruits they are just soft and sour,sweet,and juicy the first time I ate these were when I was on a vacation to Honduras in South America ❤️

[@istherestillhopealdc9526]

Rambutan is one of the best fruits I've ever tried

[@virtuousgardeningmore3551]

I tried this and it was great! I got mines from Trader Joe’s! Be blessed!

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

We can get them from our Asian market in Bator Rouge on occasion. I ate them was in the Philippines. They are yummy. Best wishes Bob.

[@noza_esh]

Wendi you are truly amazing

[@maricruzjaimesb9301]

I only buy 2 because it was my first time seen this fruit, I love them I did planted the seeds, and if it doesn't like the cold I will bring them inside the house, I will really like to grow this, I live in Los Angeles, and it's getting hot each year I have other tropical fruit trees growing.

[@preetihazarika7776]

It is found in India too.. the state of Arunachal pradesh.

[@ShaZoobie]

That looks so delicious. 😧 I'm drooling

[@kishanpharai1567]

love your videos am from trinidad lots off fruits over here .keep the videos coming ty

[@saurophaganaxminecraft977]

I come from Sri Lanka and I grew a plant wen I was very young and my grandma called and said that the plants that I have are all fruiting even my jambu

[@susanarainbow7219]

In Honduras we call them lichas

[@johnparker7663]

You are vietnamese? Thought that you are hawaii

[@cristaffol]

Oh man ik that's good you can find more in the phillipines I use to eat lots of those in the phillipines man so good my mom buys lots of them when I'm sick so good

[@gordonspears6320]

Rambutan is one of the strangest-looking and most beautiful fruits, but I actually prefer the taste of lychee and longan. Fortunately I can grow both those in my Florida garden even though rambutan is a bit too tropical for Orlando.

[@proudravenclaw4375]

Omigod 😂😂 I've been eating them wrong this whole time. What I would do was cut the fruit in half and then take a knife and slice away parts of the fruit around the seed. I'd be left with tiny slabs of sweetness and it would take forever.

[@SavageOwl1]

I remember those things I had when I was five they were delicious they look like grapes and they were delicious and they were white and they and I never found them again after that day

[@Goofy_Ahh_Ghost]

I love your videos! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@lindagibson744]

[@ScalpingSATs21]

Would you be willing to mail out some of the seeds next time you have them???

[@wendiland]

+Greg Heal hahaa sure! Follow me on Instagram: itsWendiland . If you catch me snap a pic of this, I most likely have the seeds. I would need to get the seeds to you ASAP because they germinate better when fresh.

[@ScalpingSATs21]

I'm not on Instagram. Can we do it thru Facebook? I can pay you thru Paypal. Love your videos....

[@yulivelazquez2489]

Ilike rambután I'm from Mexico Where do you live Where do you Found rambután

[@wendiland]

I'm in California, and these are sold in Asian markets. This fruit is not native to Mexico I believe, but they started farming this fruit so we can purchase them cheaply here now.

[@rhosejoers7523]

in the Philippines, we have them in our backyard :))

[@wendiland]

yum!! Must be gorgeous tree with those red fruits!

[@rhosejoers7523]

Truly ☺️

[@emabright760]

Soon I'll definitely buy it

[@studywithsove9290]

Here in my City there's a place where you can eat all you can rambutan for only 2$ per person! And they have the yellow variety which is much more sweeter than the red one. I really like your videos btw! I just subscribe a few secs ago. Haha

[@ezkxl]

[@lovelybandiola2359]

[@ashleypausa3113]

In our school its only 1pesos

[@siarainvi757]

Tryed them befrore very sweet got mines for 6 dollars us

[@mirzamay]

Mine must have been picked really green and then ripened on the way here because it tastes like a grape without sugar or flavor. Very pretty but not tasty. Fun texture though.

[@laurenmariebishop8409]

We also have also meat can come it.

[@EliArtOwOIanimatestuff]

I love those-

[@jaleelhosein4539]

I love rambutans I love it it tastes so good . I live in trinidad

[@hgils]

Looks similar to Lychee.. 😄 Boy if you like tropical fruits it's kinda fun eating all the different types. or it is for me.. Great video!

[@wendiland]

Yes! That's it! But it's not as fragrant as lychee. Tropical fruits satisfy me. :)

[@romeolopez919]

ohhh i love Lychees i hope i spelled it right i agree pretty similar to this fruit

[@StainlessForks]

i dont know if they're related to each other help

[@andrewmicklos5690]

If you lived in Florida you could grow them in your yard.
