What about the taste ?
Dont forget the irradiation. Did the flesh stick to the seed?Out of all the Rambutan I have tasted that were purchased in Florida, I would pick a nice, fresh ripe lychee any day of the week.
The package labels didn't state that they were irradiated.
Rambutan from Guatemala is not irradiated.Tree picked mamon chino vs. imported are not comparable, and if all you have eaten is import quality in Florida, then expect a much juicier and hopefully free stone type fruit if you travel to the tropics.

Still would go with a lychee.
