Čo je to Rambutan?
Je to stredne veľký tropický strom a patrí do čeľade Sapindaceae. Názov rambutan, ktorý sa vedecky nazýva Nephelium lappaceum, označuje aj lahodné ovocie (o ktorom si povieme), ktoré tento strom vytvára. Je pôvodom v malajsko-indonézskom regióne a niektorých ďalších regiónoch juhovýchodnej Ázie.
Tiež špaldový rambotan, ramboutan, rambustan a ramboetan, ovocie úzko súvisí s iným tropickým ovocím, ako je liči, longan a mamoncillo. V rodnom jazyku v skutočnosti rambut znamená vlasy. Toto je odkaz na početné chlpaté výčnelky ovocia. Vo vietnamčine sa ovocie nazýva chom chom (čo znamená rozcuchané vlasy), čo sa vzťahuje na tŕne pokrývajúce jeho pokožku.
To je málo o tomto zdanlivo tajomnom ovocí. Ale počkajte, prečo o tom vôbec hovoríme?

RambutanThe rambutan is about the size of a golf ball. It has a red outer skin and yellowish green spikes all over. The flesh of this fruit is white and has a big seed at its center. It has a sweet, creamy, rich taste. The skin is really thick and hard to peel. LycheeThe lychee is a little smaller than rambutan. It also has a red outer skin but minus the spikes. And the skin is rough. The flesh looks similar to that of the rambutan, but it tastes different. It is not as rich and creamy. It is crisper. And yes, this one also has a seed at the center. The skin is not as thick, and you can peel it as you do with a hard boiled egg. So, is that all? Is that all there is to rambutan? Well, no. There’s a host of other things you can do with the plant. Back To TOCHow Else Can You Use Rambutan?We already saw how to use the fruit and its benefits. But that’s not it. There are other parts of the plant that are quite useful as well. These include the leaves, seeds, peel, and the bark. And here, we look at each of them. The LeavesThe leaves of the fruit contain healing juices. They possess analgesic properties, which basically means they act as an effective painkiller. It is said that drinking the juice works on your nerve centers and heals pain. The juice from the leaves also offers great scalp health. You can also get rid of frizzy hair – just squeeze the juice from the leaves and apply to your scalp and hair. Rinse after an hour. Repeat 3 times in a week. The SeedsThe seeds also have numerous beneficial properties, but we suggest never to eat them raw. They contain saponins, compounds that can be extremely poisonous. The seeds are full of proteins and carbs. Adding them to your snack can be a good idea. They also have oxidative properties, which can help remove blemishes from your skin. You just have to crush the seeds to make a fine paste and apply to your skin. The PeelThe peel contains flavonoids and gallic acid – these contain anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. You can simply wash the peels and eat them raw. And don’t worry about the spines – they are just soft and tender. The peel can also cure dysentery and fever. Just boil the peel and strain the liquid.
