PULASAN
A Malaysian Fruit

To peel the pulasan, use both of your both hands to twist in opposite directions. No need to bite, country bumpkin! That is why it is called "twisted" ( pulasan ).

Don't mixed up pulasan with rambutan. Rambutan has a lot of hair while pulasan has no hair.

Between these two types of fruits, I cannot decide which one is tastier. I like both. Although generally pulasan is sweeter, there is also a species of pulasan that is very sour. The sour type of pulasan should be marinated in brine for a few months before consumption.
