Appearance is different: there is red hair on the shell of hongmaodan, and the scale of litchi is raised. The color is bright red or purplish red. Eating method is different: both can see the pulp after peeling, but there is a hard protective film on the outside of the core of rambutan, which is not edible.

Appearance

The origin of rambutan is in Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and other places. Now it is planted in Hainan, China. There are many red hairs on its shell, so it is called rambutan, enjoying the reputation of tropical fruit king. Lychee is a kind of subtropical fruit tree, which is produced in the south of China. Generally, it is about 10 meters high, and it is an evergreen tree. The peel of litchi is in the shape of scales, which is bright red or purplish red. The meat is translucent and clotted.
