Rambutan and purple mangosteen are fruits of a special flavor and strange look. Both of them have shells, inside of which there is juicy, white pulp. Rambutan resembles a bit lichee, it has pink-red “hairy” peel, and a big stone inside. Mangosteen also has an extraordinary shell – dark purple with a big, green shank. The peel is very hard and bitter, so the fruit has to be peeled before eating it. The inside of the fruit is similar to garlic, however, its white, soft and slightly glassy pieces are sweet, a bit sour and very tasty. Both fruits come from Asia, however, today customers can buy them in Europe more and more often.
