Tropiikan

Tropiikan is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is commonly known as rambutan. The fruit is small, about the size of a large cherry, and has a distinctive hairy exterior, which gives it its name, meaning "hairy fruit" in Malay. The skin is typically reddish-brown and covered in fine, soft hairs that can be easily removed. The flesh inside is juicy and sweet, with a texture similar to that of a kiwi or a small apple. Tropiikan is often eaten fresh, but it can also be used in various culinary applications, such as in jams, juices, and desserts. The fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, and is known for its high antioxidant content. It is also a popular ingredient in traditional Thai and Southeast Asian cuisines. Despite its small size, tropiikan is a versatile and nutritious fruit that has gained popularity in international markets due to its unique taste and health benefits.
