I do my best to conquer rambutan to serve to toddlers. Any suggestions are welcome! Here is the link of the girls trying rambutan: • Twins try rambutan
You amaze me Alicia with all the different foods you try out,I love your channel and I also love to hear your thoughts on different things when you are in the kitchen.
I have never seen nor heard of this fruit, before! You continue to amaze me with all of the foods you try and the girls are introduced to. You’re an awesome mom!!!
Alicia, I have seen those in the grocery store and wondered what they were. Thank you for the tutorial. Love trying other fruits out of our area or country. 😊❤
I've gotten a lot of different fruits and veggies from my Vietnamese friend and many are so labor intensive I know why she weighs 95 lbs. LOL I have had lychee and I just got the outer shell off and chewed on it until I got to the pit. I have no answer for making them edible for littles.
You don;t have to cut the outside. just squeeze it real hard and the inside will pop out. Although i don't know how to get the see out easily. pronounced Rahm boo tahn
Hi Alicia. The Rambutan are similar to Lychee. You could just peel back the shell with your fingers. You are exactly right you might want to have them try it when they are older. After peeling it you would pop it in your mouth and eat the flesh off the pit with your teeth. I do know that Lychees come pitted in cans. We use them for fruit salads. One of your viewers did mention that Rambutans were available in cans. Hope this helps🥰 Alicia you are just 11:2211:28 an amazing Mom and what you do for the girls❤️ Alicia don’t try to cut it, you are going to end up cutting yourself. Look for them in the cans, they are peeled and pitted.Lychees do not have the fringe on their shell but the shell is bumpy. Love and blessings ❤️🌺🙏❤️
I remember enjoying these in a restaurant where I worked during college & eating the flesh off the seed ... the Head Chef said they're packed with good things incl Vitamin C. Need to revisit those tasty little gems. Your hair looks fun & cute!
Alicia, if anyone ever doubts your extreme patience, just steer them to this video. My goodness, I've never seen so much work produce so little fruit - LOL! I saw a lot of comments on the girls' channel that stated the best way to eat rambutan was to simply pop it into your mouth and chew around the pit. This method also ensures that all that wonderful juice can be enjoyed without spilling a drop. Since the girls, especially Guinevere, seemed to really enjoy the taste, like you said, you'll definitely have to try it again when they are old enough to deal with the pit themselves. You'd think with all the nifty kitchen gadgets out there, someone would have invented something to easily remove the pit from the fleshy part of this fruit. I agree with the people who commented that it looks like a sea urchin, and it is actually quite beautiful. Oh, the wonders of nature! 😊
The monkeys in Cambodia love rambutan. They rip them open w their teeth, eat the flesh and spit out the seed. It is pronounced RAM BU TAN. The monkeys are so cool and funny. I saw a dragon fruit @ the supermarket yesterday. I didn't buy them bc they were really small. Something I do want to try though. Thanks Alicia.
So that's where the girls get the left-hand primary usage from, YOU! :-))))) Never heard of this fruit. Where did you get it from? Nice job with hair btw.
You look great as a blonde! I hope you show your hair when it's done so we can see the finished product I love the pink and grey that you put in there, beautiful! I am going to look for Rambuten now that you have shown us how to cut and attack it 😂 It sounds delicious so I will definitely have to look for it next time I go to the market. Thank you for always sharing with us and please get some sleep you have an exhausting schedule so take care of you!❤
Never seen these before but looks like a ton of work for very little fruit. I’m wondering instead of pulling apart to remove the seed then cut the skin off maybe cut the flesh off the seed like you were peeling it. I love watching your beautiful girls. Thank you for sharing them with us. ❤❤
Ty for sharing Alicia! This fruit is so bizarre looking, looks like a sea urchin. Tedious for sure. Hope ur doing well, sending positive vibes & blessings ❤
Thank you for showing this fruit, dear Alicia 👌 ...i don't know her 🤔 ..it's quite a job to peel it off and prepare it to eat ... good mom ...big hug 🤗🤩 ... see you later 💖🥰😊
Maybe you could use the same tool that you used in the video with the girls, where you put the grape in it. It looked like it would work on peeling these. It would at least be worth a try, to maybe be safer that using a knife. Just a suggestion..
Ok,this proves one thing. You have more patience than me. I think I would just give up, but power to you for doing it. The girls were so funny this morning. I loved when Anna wanted a paper towel and I forget why she got mad for a minute, but that look on her face just cracked me up. Have a good one.❤️❤️❤️
Good morning, these are delicious. Perhaps like you did with the mandarin oranges you could buy the canned rambutan or lychee which are similar! I was hoping to see how you were going to do your hair!
Alicia, I looked for rambutans online and my stores have only the canned ones. Amazon does have fresh ones but they are SO expensive. Seems like the canned ones would be much more convenient.
Freestone variety have seeds that slide out easily. Clingstone variety stick to the flesh. Says to just pop it in your mouth and spit out the seed. Looks like you have the clingstone variety
To open this tropical fruit, you can use a knife like you did or use your nail to dig in the middle and twist the two halves, left half clockwise and the other anti clockwise direction or vice versa. To eat the fruit, bite it like you eat an apple or pear. Some fruits have the flesh come out easily and nicely, others do not. Some can be juicy but the one you have is not that kind.
Leeche fruit has a thick leathery kind of outside skin. I just cut mine in half like you did and sliced the fruit in half ti remove the seed. Mine didnt stick to the skin. The seed came out easier.
The organic rambutan we do everything with teeth( no knife need). Maybe once girls get older you can try it. For adults if its organic ( no chemicals used), you can just bite and open the outer. Get the white fruit out and use teeth again to get the flesh out.😊.
Alicia, here’s a video showing how to eat rambutan. It looks like the “skin” that surrounds the seed/pit is edible: ruclips.net/user/shortsdprvSzTbd2U?si=a3EQvbDSeZ7Vlb31 And another link: ruclips.net/video/ce7ECearFok/видео.htmlsi=lJPxTeBhmho3UOEW. I’ve watched several videos and from what I’ve seen, all you need to do is remove the pit and cut it up for the kids. No need to remove that skin…it’s edible, just like the skin on a grape.
It had a herd texture almost like wood which is why I removed it. I ate one and the flesh was so yummy, but the part of the pit that stuck to the fruit wasn't pleasant😬💜💜
@@sahmhotmessexpress It may be that the people in the videos have always eaten it that way and are used to it. All I know is I watched several videos (more than I linked to you), and they all ate it. But that also doesn’t mean that everyone likes it that way. 🙂
I love that you try new foods for the girls and yourself! Does coloring your hair cause any issues for donating it? Your hair is always interesting! I'm not sure if I've ever see the Rambutan in the store but yesterday I did see some nice big star fruit, didn't buy any but I may in the future.
In some countries (South East Asia e.g. Philippines, Malaysia etc) there are canned rambutans in syrup in which there is only the soft white fleshy part in it. Can drain away the syrup and add the canned rambutans to freshly squeezed fruit juice instead. Rambutan seed contains traces of the toxic chemical known as saponins and should not be eaten. Maybe can try checking up videos on how to cut a rambutan on RUclips. Eating a fresh rambutan has a common problem that is the outer layer of the seed sticks onto the white fleshy part of the fruit and is hard like a tree park🥴
How do you find the time to indulge in such an unnecessary chore when there are so many fruits available that are just as delicious and nutritious??? The girls absolutely love such a variety of fruits previously introduced.
You amaze me Alicia with all the different foods you try out,I love your channel and I also love to hear your thoughts on different things when you are in the kitchen.

Too much work for me!! Yikes😮
Very interesting! 😊❤️❤️❤️
I lychee fruit in stir fry

Love your adventurous spirit...your girls are so blessed to have such a wonderful Mama and, of course, Dada. Just lovely🌹
Thank you so much🤗💜💜
Thank you for sharing this with us. I never knew what those were. ❤😊

Way cool. Thanks for your exploration. I have wondered, but never tried.

Thank you! I will look for them in cans😅❤️❤️
I was wondering if you showed them the whole fruit after they tried it.
I didn't because they'd want to play with it or eat it😆💗💗
If you have a smart phone just ask it to show you how to peel the fruit and it comes up with an answer.
I remember enjoying these in a restaurant where I worked during college & eating the flesh off the seed ... the Head Chef said they're packed with good things incl Vitamin C. Need to revisit those tasty little gems. Your hair looks fun & cute!

I've never seen this fruit before, but I'm glad the girls liked this. You are Wonder Woman !!!!! ❤
It is also known as lychee nuts and they are delicious.
Hats off you for going the extra mile to serve that yummy fruit. I have had them before and they are delicious 😋❤
Wow !! Time consuming. Bless your heart for not giving up ❤. I would've 😂😂. Your girls are truly blessed to have such Awesome parents 😊
Thank you so much!♥️♥️

How fun!💗💗
You can get cherry seed pickers
Love your channel. Your babies are so sweet. Do the rambutans grow on trees? I have never seen them before.
It grows on trees in southeast Asia💖💖
So that's where the girls get the left-hand primary usage from, YOU! :-))))) Never heard of this fruit. Where did you get it from? Nice job with hair btw.
😅 Yes I'm the lefty! I found this at our regular grocery store!❤️❤️
You look great as a blonde! I hope you show your hair when it's done so we can see the finished product I love the pink and grey that you put in there, beautiful!

That may work better! It's not hard to eat as an adult because you just pop it in your mouth and chew off the flesh and spit out the seed😆💖💖
Ty for sharing Alicia! This fruit is so bizarre looking, looks like a sea urchin. Tedious for sure. Hope ur doing well, sending positive vibes & blessings ❤
It does look like a sea urchin😆♥️♥️
You are a fabulous Momma. You are a wonderful Mother...... your precious little angels are precious......... ❤❤Gods blessings over y’all......
Thank you for showing this fruit, dear Alicia 👌 ...i don't know her 🤔 ..it's quite a job to peel it off and prepare it to eat ... good mom ...big hug 🤗🤩 ... see you later 💖🥰😊
I may wait until they're older to eat this again so they can deal with the seed😆💖💖
I can't wait to see your hair!!
😆💜💜
Mine is fuchsia and I love it!
Thanks for sharing Alicia you are great mumma trying the girls with so many different foods and fruit well done you ❤❤

I loved when Anna wanted a paper towel and I forget why she got mad for a minute, but that look on her face just cracked me up. Have a good one.❤️❤️❤️
😅Well the patience only goes so far lol I probably won't buy these again until they're much older and can deal with the seed themselves😆❤️❤️
They look amazing but too much trouble to cut. Please be careful. @@sahmhotmessexpress
Good for you having the patience with this…..let us know if it was worth it!!
Never seen this fruit before. Looks interesting. Does Ana eat it now? She wasn't sure before. Learning about new fruits. Thanks❤️🤗🤗🙏🙏
Good morning, these are delicious. Perhaps like you did with the mandarin oranges you could buy the canned rambutan or lychee which are similar! I was hoping to see how you were going to do your hair!
I know it only as Lychee over here in The Netherlands, very tasty fruit. Canned are also very good.
Alicia, I looked for rambutans online and my stores have only the canned ones. Amazon does have fresh ones but they are SO expensive. Seems like the canned ones would be much more convenient.
Wow! I had no idea there were canned ones! They probably would be easier! I'll have to look for them, thank you ♥️♥️
Baby don’t cut your fingers. Bless your little heart. ❤️ Love you !
😅💖💖
The flesh of the rambutan looks like a lychee, though the lychee stone is more easily separated . I would presume it is from the same family.
I think it is in the same family🩷🩷
Alicia, Thank you for doing this video. I don't think I have ever seen these in the store where I shop. Not at all what I expected. ❤
I was pleasantly surprised by this fruit!💜💜
Wow, interesting. Does it have antioxidants? I will have to look it up.
It it high in antioxidants! 💗💗
I bought two to try last week. Lol. I got them at the Oriental market. The lady who who works there told me when the fruit turns black its no good
Ours were a deep red, not black🤗💜💜
Freestone variety have seeds that slide out easily. Clingstone variety stick to the flesh. Says to just pop it in your mouth and spit out the seed. Looks like you have the clingstone variety
Thank you for that! I didn't know there were different types!💜💜

To eat the fruit, bite it like you eat an apple or pear. Some fruits have the flesh come out easily and nicely, others do not. Some can be juicy but the one you have is not that kind.
They are delicious and I think Ana will come around. The fruit looks boring but tastes so good.
I agree!💗💗
Leeche fruit has a thick leathery kind of outside skin. I just cut mine in half like you did and sliced the fruit in half ti remove the seed. Mine didnt stick to the skin. The seed came out easier.
Lychee is slightly different ♥️♥️

THe furry ball laid an egg!! So fun. Never tried them, but now I will if I see them. Enjoy!
😅They're yummy🩷🩷
Too much work.. wow! 🤯 Good Mama! ♥️
Wayyy too fussy for me.
I love that you try new foods for the girls and yourself! Does coloring your hair cause any issues for donating it? Your hair is always interesting! I'm not sure if I've ever see the Rambutan in the store but yesterday I did see some nice big star fruit, didn't buy any but I may in the future.
You can donate colored hair as long as it isn't damaged. I only color the front of my hair so the part that I donate isn't colored at all🩷🩷
It looks kinda like a sea urchin. I have never seen these in KY. Happy New Year!!!
😆It does❤️❤️
I've never had them. Seems like once you peel it and take out the seed, there's not much left.
They're so yummy though, but yes there's very little flesh♥️♥️
I see them in a can !!!!!
They look a bit like lychees. Hair looking good so far.
Thank you🩷🩷
Have you tried a grapefruit serrated spoon?✨✨
I will give that a try!💖💖
They really good.
Our again market has this
Yum!❤️❤️
I have never heard of this fruit.seems like alot of work.😮
Only a lot of work for little ones. As an adult you can just eat the flesh off the seed like a peach or apricot ❤️❤️
@@sahmhotmessexpress good too no thank you!!!
They are known as leche fruit.
What is your natural hair color?
we call those leche fruit
They are different from lychee, but similar family💗💗

Those are way too green. As soon as you make a hole, you should be able to pop the shell off.
The shell popped off super easy it was the seed that gave me trouble😅💖💖
Can’t the girls eat the flesh off the pit?
