My love story with the juicy morsels enveloped in a soft-spiked skin is not new. I met this fruit for the first time two years ago during a visit to the Big Island and talked about it in a post about various fruits and a post about skin and pulp. I met it again last week in the same place.
Removing the bright red color gives more prominence to the intriguing shape.
This is my contribution to edition #111 of Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Lynne of Cafe Lynnylu.
The photos were shot in color and then converted to black and white (Lightroom preset B&W Look 2).
This is the gallery of the images contributed to the event.

I’ve seen these in Asian markets, and they are indeed striking fruits—though I have never bought them, not knowing what to do with them or how to eat them. Or even the name, so I could look it up! Now I know, thanks! I’ll definitely try them next time I see them.
I was introduced to these by my BIL – who lives on the Big Island. Never see them here. Nice pics
And Happy New Year!
Never seen or heard of this before. The B&W photo makes it look even more intriguing to me. 🙂
Ciao Frank. Give them a try. They are nice. If you do, let me know if you find out where they come from.
Thank you, Katie.
Ciao Paz. They are visually striking. And a pleasure to eat.
I have never tried these! and have never seen them look so beautiful! Love the 2nd one – the close up shot.
I love both your images-the overall shot of the rambutan and the close up as it tells the whole story of what the plant looks like. Thanks for contributing to BWW #111
Hi Soma. The fruit is fun to peel and tastes really nice. I hope you get to try it one day.
Thank you, Lynne. It was my pleasure 🙂
