If offered at all, use only small pieces of ripe peeled seedless flesh. Seed and rind are choking and obstruction hazards. Avoid canned and sweetened rambutan products.
Rambutan is a tropical fruit with a red spiny-looking rind and translucent sweet flesh around a large seed, sold fresh in clusters and in canned or syrup-packed forms.
Fresh rambutan requires peeling the rind and removing the seed before serving. Canned versions often include syrup or sweetened liquid.
The seed and rind are not appropriate for pets. Syrup-packed rambutan is more concentrated in sugar than plain fruit.
