Rambutan, when sprayed, will ripen early but quickly wither. Normally, the wilting process of rambutan takes place very quickly, only a few hours after being cut from the tree. The way to recognize sprayed rambutan is that the fruit has fresh branches and leaves, but the beard on the fruit is wilted and crumpled. Ripe rambutan trees will give fruit with healthy and fresh beard, so 2-3 days later, it still hasn’t wilted. 3. Mangosteen

With durians that are forced to ripen by medicine or ripen naturally, users can identify by immediately looking at the stem and spines of the fruit when choosing to buy.
