Khmer fresh fruit II

1.Lychee
Available from street stalls and markets all over Cambodia. The pulp is white translucent. The ones wrapped in plastic are for drying.
Taste: Sweet and juicy, with a relatively large inedible seed.
2.Rambutan
The hairy sibling of the lychee, and very similar to it, but often substantially larger.
One of the most visually striking fruits.
Taste: Almost the same as lychees. Somewhat juicier.
3.Pineapple
The word Pineapple is derived from the word pina, which was used to describe a pine cone by the Spanish.
Taste: Sweet and juicy.
