Pulasan

Nephelium mutabile

The pulasan, ''Nephelium mutabile'' Blume , is a tropical fruit closely allied to the rambutan and sometimes confused with it. It has various common names, including ''pulasan'' in English, Spanish and Malay, ''kapulasan'' in Indonesia, ''ngoh-khonsan'' in Thailand, and ''bulala'' or ''panungayan'' in the Philippines.

Usually eaten fresh, it is sweeter than the rambutan and lychee, but very rare outside Southeast Asia.
