Nasan Rambutan

Story

Beyond the Average Fruit: Discover the Crispy Legend of Na San
"Forget everything you know about ordinary rambutans. In the fertile valleys of Ban Na San, Surat Thani, we have been perfecting the 'King of Fruits' for a century.
Unlike typical rambutans that can be watery or stick to the seed, our 'Na San School Rambutan' is legendary for its unique 'Lon' texture. This means the flesh is remarkably firm, crisp, and peels away from the seed with effortless perfection—a secret held by the very first tree planted on school grounds in 1926.
Experience the superior honey-like sweetness and the iconic look of vibrant red skin tipped with fresh green hair. It’s not just a seasonal treat; it’s a bite of Thai history that originated right here. Once you taste the authentic Na San heritage, you’ll never look at a rambutan the same way again."
