Yellow fleshed Rambutan?

[SonnyCrockett]

What manner of dark magic is this?  I'm guessing Photoshop or a nice dose of Yellow#5 dye, but what do you think?

The guy claims "Wild rambutan bunch.  Picked from the forest of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park" and that they were sour.

I also saw a few images similar to this in some Vietnamese websites, but not much else.

It's real and a jungle Rambutan species which is not cultivated. The link also says people will get drunk if eat too much, very much similar to Marula.
Unfortunately it seems out of season.

Put me in the no camp on this one.

Its season was only in May and June. Maybe next year I can find some and post here.

Have you actually seen these before in person?  Have you tried them?  Or are you just going off of the article?

Tried once before but not much enough to get drunk. It was very sour. People eat it with a special type of salt to reduce its sour and increase the taste.
