Što je Rambutan?
Srednje je tropsko drvo i pripada obitelji Sapindaceae. Znanstveno nazvan Nephelium lappaceum, naziv rambutan također se odnosi na ukusno voće (o kojem ćemo razgovarati) koje ovo drvo proizvodi. Podrijetlom je iz malajsko-indonezijske regije i nekih drugih regija jugoistočne Azije.
Također piše rambotan, ramboutan, rambustan i ramboetan, plod je usko povezan s drugim tropskim voćem poput ličija, longana i mamoncila. Zapravo, na materinjem jeziku rambut znači kosa. To se odnosi na brojne dlakave izbočine ploda. Na vijetnamskom se plodu naziva chom chom (što znači neuredna kosa), misleći na bodlje koje prekrivaju njegovu kožicu.
To je malo o ovom naizgled tajanstvenom voću. Ali čekajte, zašto uopće razgovaramo o tome?

Za što je Rambutan dobar?
Iako je voće malo, sadrži znatnu količinu vitamina C - hranjive tvari koja jača imunitet i izbacuje toksine iz vašeg tijela.
Rambutan također sadrži bakar, još jedan mineral koji djeluje zajedno s željezom za poboljšanje zdravlja krvnih žila i krvnih stanica (jer je također dobar izvor željeza).
Postoji nekoliko drugih pogodnosti koje smo sačuvali za kasnije. Ali prije toga, što kažete na zavirivanje u povijest rambutana?

Ne želimo ulaziti preduboko u povijest i držati vas na čekanju. Pa krenimo na blagodati. Ali neposredno prije toga, kako bi bilo pogledati hranjive sastojke koje ovo čudesno voće sadrži?

Dijabetički miševi inducirani fenolnim ekstraktima kora rambutana pokazali su smanjenje razine glukoze u krvi natašte (1). 2. Može spriječiti debljanjeNe postoje posebna istraživanja koja sugeriraju kako rambutan sam po sebi može spriječiti debljanje. Međutim, voće, općenito, prema studijama, može spriječiti debljanje jer ima nisku energetsku gustoću (2).

The manganese in the fruit, along with the vitamin C, aids collagen production and also acts as an antioxidant that damages the free radicals. All of this keeps your skin healthy and young for a long time. That’s pretty much the list of benefits. But there is a big question running around. Did you ever wonder if rambutan is the same as lychee? Let’s find out. Rambutan Vs. Lychee – What’s The Difference?Firstly, the two are different. Let’s accept that. RambutanThe rambutan is about the size of a golf ball. It has a red outer skin and yellowish green spikes all over. The flesh of this fruit is white and has a big seed at its center. It has a sweet, creamy, rich taste. The skin is really thick and hard to peel. LycheeThe lychee is a little smaller than rambutan. It also has a red outer skin but minus the spikes. And the skin is rough. The flesh looks similar to that of the rambutan, but it tastes different. It is not as rich and creamy. It is crisper. And yes, this one also has a seed at the center. The skin is not as thick, and you can peel it as you do with a hard boiled egg. So, is that all? Is that all there is to rambutan? Well, no. There’s a host of other things you can do with the plant. Back To TOCHow Else Can You Use Rambutan?We already saw how to use the fruit and its benefits. But that’s not it. There are other parts of the plant that are quite useful as well. These include the leaves, seeds, peel, and the bark. And here, we look at each of them. The LeavesThe leaves of the fruit contain healing juices. They possess analgesic properties, which basically means they act as an effective painkiller. It is said that drinking the juice works on your nerve centers and heals pain. The juice from the leaves also offers great scalp health. You can also get rid of frizzy hair – just squeeze the juice from the leaves and apply to your scalp and hair. Rinse after an hour. Repeat 3 times in a week. The SeedsThe seeds also have numerous beneficial properties, but we suggest never to eat them raw. They contain saponins, compounds that can be extremely poisonous. The seeds are full of proteins and carbs. Adding them to your snack can be a good idea. They also have oxidative properties, which can help remove blemishes from your skin. You just have to crush the seeds to make a fine paste and apply to your skin. The PeelThe peel contains flavonoids and gallic acid – these contain anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. You can simply wash the peels and eat them raw. And don’t worry about the spines – they are just soft and tender. The peel can also cure dysentery and fever. Just boil the peel and strain the liquid. Drink this twice or thrice a day. The BarkThe bark of the rambutan plant has astringent properties and can treat canker sores. See? We told you. Not just the fruit, even the plant and its parts have some use. Now that’s cool, isn’t it? What’s even better are the facts about the fruit. Back To TOCAny Fast Facts On Rambutan?
