Use your fingernail or a sharp knife to pierce the rambutan's outer skin. Once you’ve broken through the skin, you can squeeze out the edible part of the fruit.
If you do want to remove the seed, make a small incision so you can then scoop this out with a spoon. Alternatively, just eat the flesh around the inner seed before discarding it.
That's it! Now you can enjoy your rambutan. Don't worry about the membrane that's stuck to the flesh – it's perfectly edible.
