Nephelium ramboutan-ake, the pulasan,[1] is a tropical fruit in the soapberry family Sapindaceae.[2] It is closely related to the rambutan and sometimes confused with it. Other related soapberry family fruits include lychee and longan.[2] Usually eaten fresh, it is sweeter than the rambutan and lychee, but very rare outside Southeast Asia.
