The red gem of Soconusco
Rambutan is an exotic tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia that has found its perfect Mexican home in Chiapas. Its name comes from the Malay «rambut», meaning «hair», after the soft filaments covering its bright red skin.
In Soconusco, the warm, humid tropical climate provides ideal conditions for premium rambutan. Our region is Mexico’s leading producer of this fruit, with juicy, translucent flesh and exceptional sweetness.
