Rambutan .it is cheap and in season starting July to October in Philippines. In San Pablo City, Laguna where there are very much trees and farmers of Rambutan it is available for a cheap prize of even lower than 30 pesos per kilo when in full season. The farmers informed me that there are 2 varieties of Rambutan, one called Tuklapin which skin is easily removed from its seed, once the flesh is bitten, the flesh is removed at once from the seed and the other one is called Supsupin because the flesh must be sucked out from the seeds. The Supsupin variety is sweeter, but harder to eat. It needs lots of patience to get all the flesh out of the seeds. But the other variety is very less sweeter and not juicy at all.
Funny how the people in my hometowm call the varieties of Rambutan,
In Germany, where I presently reside, Rambutan is not easy to find, They are usually imported from Thailand and based on so many shows I watched, just no one dared to use Rambutan in preparing desserts, some Asians who joins the show even just use them for decorating the desserts.
Here shown, below, pictures of Rambutan during my last visit to the Philippines in 2014
