Differences between rambutan and lychee

Appearance

Rambutan is native to Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and other places. It is now grown in Hainan, my country. There are many red hairs on its shell, so it is called rambutan and enjoys the reputation of the king of tropical fruits. Lychee is produced in the southern region of China. It is a subtropical fruit tree, generally about 10 meters tall, and is an evergreen tree. The peel of litchi is scaly and has bright red or purple color. The flesh is translucent and creamy.

How to eat

There is also a difference in how to eat rambutan and lychee. After peeling both, you can see the flesh directly, but rambutan has a relatively hard protective film outside its core, which is not edible. However, you don't need to pay attention to this for lychee, and you can eat it in big bites.

Taste

After peeling, rambutan looks very similar to lychee, but there is a difference in taste. Compared with the two, lychee is sweeter and rambutan is lighter.
