Product Description
Rambutan powder is produced from the juicy, translucent pulp of the tropical rambutan fruit (Nephelium lappaceum), known for its lychee-like flavor and refreshing sweetness. Through advanced spray or freeze-drying technology, the powder retains the fruit's natural aroma, nutrients, and mild tropical taste. It serves as a convenient, shelf-stable form for use in drinks, supplements, functional foods, and beauty products. In addition to being a flavorful ingredient, rambutan is valued for its natural antioxidants, vitamin C, and trace minerals.
