The Fruit of Indonesia

Grapes, Banana, Melon, Apple, and Strawberry. maybe that's the fruit that we eat fruit every day. But what about fruit fruit Rambutan, Durian and Duku. This could be the first time you heard of it (not me).

 

Rambutan ( Nephelium lappaceum L)

The rambutan ( taxonomic name: Nephelium lappaceum) is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae. The fruit produced by the tree is also known as "rambutan." It is native to Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, although its precise natural distribution is unknown. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, and mamoncillo. ^.It is believed to be native to the Malay Archipelago,from where it spread westwards to Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka and India; eastwards to Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. The name rambutan is derived from the Malay word rambutan, meaning "hairy".  In Vietnam, it is called chôm chôm (meaning "messy hair") due to the spines covering the fruit's skin.           

           

 

Durian ( Durio zibethinus)

This is one of my favorite fruits.

Durian is a tropical plant names are derived from Southeast Asia, as well as the name of an edible fruit. The name is taken from the skin of the fruit characteristics are hard and sharp grooved to resemble thorns. His most popular title "king of all fruits" (King of Fruit), and the durian fruit is controversial. Although many like it, others sickened by the smell.
Indeed, plants with the name of the durian is not a single species but a group of plants of the genus Durio. [1] However, the meaning of durian (without any affixes) usually is Durio zibethinus. Other types of durian edible and are sometimes found in markets in Southeast Asia Tempatan include lai (D. kutejensis), kerantungan (D. oxleyanus), durian or kekura turtle (D. graveolens), and lahung (D . dulcis). Henceforth, the description below refers to D. zibethinus.

if you wanna try you could come to my home town ( Jambi, Indonesia ) during the durian season, and we will have some Durian Journey
