Tag: Eating old fruit

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), roughly one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally. Much of this waste is from perfectly usable produce, leading many to wonder, 'is it okay to eat over ripe fruits?'.

While often discarded, slightly overripe rambutan is not always a lost cause, though its taste and texture change significantly. This leads many to question: **can you eat overripe rambutan** safely, or is it better to avoid it entirely?
