Pulasan

PULASAN

Pulasan or nephelium mutobila is from a plant family known as sapindaceae.
Pulasan looks similar to the better-known rambutan and lychee, but it is much larger and far superior eating. A unique feature of the pulasan raw-seed is edible. The flesh of pulasan tastes like a sweet grape , and the seed like an almond. This is a native tree fruit of Malaysia, and as far as we know is not cultivated commercially anywhere else in the world. The size is 60-100 g per fruit (11 -14 fruit /kg) and the external color is light red at packing time. You can just simply peel the fruit (as you would a lychee) and eat as a fresh fruit. You can eat the seed at the same time as the flesh, although some experts prefer to first consume the meat, then slowly nibble on the delicious seed.
