Pulasan (Nephelium mutabile), Dr.Abhay Kumar Pati, Best Nutrition USA

June 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Pulasan (Nephelium mutabile) is a tropical fruit closely allied to the rambutan and sometimes confused with it. It has various common names, including pulasan in English, Spanish and Malay, kapulasan in Malaysia, ngoh-khonsan in Thailand, and bulala in the Philippines.
The fruit is ovoid, 5-7.5 cm long, dark-red, its thick, leathery rind closely set with conical, blunt-tipped tubercles or thick, fleshy, straight spines, to 1 cm long. There may be 1 or 2 small, undeveloped fruits nestled close to the stem. Within is the glistening, white or yellowish-white flesh (aril) to 1 cm thick, more or less clinging to the thin, grayish-brown seedcoat (testa) which separates from the seed. The flavour is generally much sweeter than that of the rambutan. The seed is ovoid, oblong or ellipsoid, light-brown, somewhat flattened on one side, 2-3.5 cm long.
While very similar to rambutan, the fruit lacks the hairy spines. The flesh is very sweet and juicy, and separates easily from the seed, much more easily than the rambutan. In addition, unlike the seed of the rambutan, the seed of the pulasan is readily edible raw, and has a flavour somewhat similar to that of almonds.
