Rambutan

Our customers use rambutan because of its unique appearance, sweet flavor, and appeal as an exotic, premium ingredient. Rambutan has a juicy, mildly sweet taste similar to lychee, making it suitable for use in beverages, fruit salads, desserts, and canned fruit products. Its distinctive look and tropical origin help manufacturers create visually interesting and upscale offerings that stand out in the market. Rambutan is also a source of vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting health and wellness marketing claims. It is commonly processed into canned, syrup-packed, or frozen forms, which extend shelf life and make it easier to incorporate into large-scale production while maintaining consistent quality and flavor.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.
