RAMBUTAN – How to Eat! How to Open! YUM!

I love eating sweet fresh Rambutan fruit. They can be bought at a Chinese or Asian supermarket or sometimes online: https://amzn.to/2YTyqvH . It’s a weird hairy looking fruit that tastes sweet and jelly like. Its looks and tastes similar to Lychee, however they are not the same fruit. The taste is kind of grape like. Its sweetness is subtle.

You can open Rambutan fruit with your bare hands or fingers by peeling off the thick protective skin. The easier way is using a knife to cut the skin to peel. Or you can just stick a fork into the skin and twist to crack open the skin. Beware there is a seed / stone in the middle of the fruit.

Steps I took to remove the rubber smell from my car:

  1. Use baking soda ( https://amzn.to/32VPorO ) to absorb order in trunk.
  2. Vacuum trunk after using baking soda
  3. Wash rubber tire / mat with dish washing liquid ( https://amzn.to/2ye0WbJ ) and rinse
  4. Soak rubber tire / mat with white vinegar ( https://amzn.to/2Mh0GAZ) . Solution Mixture 1 cup per gallon of water . I used my shower stall, by plugging the drain, and pouring about 5 gallons of the solution in to the stall. I soaked each side of the tire in the stall solution for about 3-4 hours on each side.
  5. Wash off and rinse the vinegar with dish washing liquid and rinse.
  6. Place the tire in sunlight area for 1 day. Expose the other side for a 1 day in the sun.
  7. DONE. Replace the rubber tire or mat back into the trunk.
