Rambutan

How about a bad hair day fruit? Let me introduce the Rambutan.

The closest thing I can compare it to is a plant version of a sea urchin, but the short bristle projections are not stiff or sharp.

You open the leathery outer shell and inside there is a jelly like interior, that looks a lot like a skinned grape. The difference here from a grape is that there is a single large seed, that you have to remove the jelly from.

The taste is sweet with a drawing flavor. I really am at a loss on how to adequately describe some of these new foods. It is fascinating how much variety is available, of which we know little about. 

I think the tree of life with its 12 fruits will be grand to explore. Perhaps in heaven I will have better descriptive words -- but then again we could just all enjoy it together. We wish you could be here with us now and experience these things with us.

May our lives be relished by others in Jesus.



Pray with us for a spark.
