I’m very disappointed with the quality of the rambutans I received. Almost 20 of them were spoiled and had to be thrown away. As shown in the photo, I separated the spoiled ones from the good ones, which are still in the bag. However, I must say that all the other fruits I ordered were fresh and of excellent quality. I was very happy with those items. I just wish the rambutans had been as good as the rest.

This frozen lychee is absolutely delicious and a great addition to the freezer. The fruits are wonderfully sweet, juicy, and arrive looking very fresh, red, and perfectly ripe. Eating them slightly semi-thawed makes for an amazing, refreshing tropical treat on a warm day. You get excellent quality and a generous amount of fruit in this 2 lb bag, making it a fantastic value. Will definitely repurchase.

The fruit is perfectly sweet and juicy, with a soft, refreshing texture. The syrup isn’t too heavy—just the right amount of sweetness to bring out the natural flavor of the rambutan. Every piece tastes fresh and tender, and it’s great on its own or added to desserts. If you enjoy tropical fruit, this is definitely worth trying. I’ll be buying it again for sure!
