Hi Colin & SiewPeng,

Doing research on pulasan and came across your blog.

I just acquired a small manageable farm closer to Bentong and further to Bkt Tinggi along the Jln Kuala Lumpur Lama. We called it Eco Happy Farm. We have Durian of YesterYears aka Ming Zung aka Kampung Clones. Sorry no D24 and or Musang. There are more than 20 DoYs cultivars. Very interesting and ” challenging “.

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that the rambutan and pulasan were eatened by the monkeys. On the ground are mainly the flesh and very little seeds. Spoke with a friend over breakfast and guess what? He said NUTS ! Monkeys loves the seeds more than the flesh. It’s nutritious. Adeline my daughter trued and she said wow!. Indian couple tried it next day, wow !.

I’m trying to process raw pulasan nuts. Any ideas and or leads will be appreciated.

DoYs still dropping. Please come over to savior it and give me your feedback.

B’Happy

-> Reynold, RM2/kg for Pulasan. I guess the price is reasonable, anyone know how much is rambutan per kg? Then we can compare.

-> Peter, thanks for your information. Does the seed need to be cooked before chewing it? If I am not mistaken, Cempedak’s seed can be cooked and edible, it tastes like hazelnut. I will try it next time with Rambutan and Pulasan.

try eating the seed,it is edible,just bite & chew on it. the best fruit are those with deep purplelish colour yet still firmin your hand, they are the tastiest. pulasan is sweet but not over bearing like lichee which at times can tickle your throat:)anyway,pulasan is as old as rambutan. the reason why it is not as commonly seen as rambutan is because the tree usually bear much less fruits that the rambutan thus it has less commercially value than the former.

I just did this post which in Sarawak is called Sibau fruit. The original Sibau is not as big and sweet.

Is quite interesting that friends in Johor who plant this fruit have no idea what it is called.

They sell them in Singapore, and the vendor tells me they come from Thailand.
