What is the Rambutan and the Neph-V of DXN
What is Rambutan
Rambutan: in Malaysia it is a delicacy |
The rambutan -Nephelium lappaceum-, also known as lichas, Chinese mamón or achotillo. It belongs to the Sapindáceae family, which includes more than a thousand species, such as the exotic lychee.
In Malaysia, where it comes from, and in some countries in Southeast Asia, they have enjoyed its nutritional benefits since time immemorial. Sources say that it was Arab merchants who brought it to East Africa during the 13th century, where they continue to cultivate it today. While its presence in South America is the work of the Dutch, being widely consumed in Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico or Argentina.
If you come across this tiny oval fruit, its appearance may confuse you and make you want to try it, since it is covered by a bark with small red threads that remind of the spines of hedgehogs and that have made it worthy from the nickname 'hairy lychee'. However, once the skin is removed, we find a transparent meat with a gelatinous texture, which provides an intense sweet taste, extremely refreshing and pleasant to the palate.
Its Nutritional Value
Rambutan |
It contains gallic acid, a natural phenolic with antioxidant properties that prevents aging.
It also contains a large amount of minerals, particularly copper, which keeps bones, blood vessels, and the production of red and white blood cells ready; calcium and magnesium, essential for the strengthening of bones and muscle health; phosphorus, an active part in the formation of proteins and the preservation of cells and tissues; and potassium, crucial for good muscle and cell health and nerve transmission. Without forgetting that more than 80% of its composition is water, so the energy content does not exceed 80 kcal, making it ideal for those who follow a weight loss diet.
However, the virtues of rambutan do not seem to remain in those mentioned, as it is possible that it helps to prevent diabetes, as pointed out by a study published in 2017 in the journal 'Nutrients'. The research was carried out with mice and found that the rind of this exotic fruit contains antidiabetic activity. The reason is that "the peel increased body weight and reduced the fasting blood glucose level of diabetic mice. It also significantly reduced the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine and glycosylated serum protein", say its authors. However, the line of investigation remains open.
