Calories


A 100 g serving of rambutan fruit -- approximately 3.6 oz. -- contains 84 calories. If you follow a 2,000 calorie diet, this accounts for 4.2 percent of the calories you may consume daily.

Macronutrients

Rambutan is a very low-fat fruit variety, containing 0.1 g per serving. You will also get a small amount of protein in a portion of rambutan -- 0.7 to 0.9 g.

Vitamins

Incorporating a serving of rambutan fruit into your diet gives you a big boost in vitamin C. Each 100-g portion contains approximately 40 percent of the daily recommended intake of this vitamin. You will also get about 1 percent of the daily-recommended intake of niacin, also known as vitamin B3.

Minerals

One serving of rambutan serves as a good iron supply, providing 13.8 to 31.2 percent of the amount you need each day. The iron in your diet promotes the right level of oxygen in your body, which can help prevent the fatigue and dizziness that come with anemia, a condition occurring from low iron. In a serving of rambutan, you will also get 4.3 percent of the daily recommended intake of phosphorus. Phosphorus helps filter out waste in the kidneys and is necessary for the growth, maintenance, and repair of all tissues and cells. Rambutan also contains a trace amount of calcium; calcium and phosphorus work in tandem to strengthen your bones and teeth.

Benefits

Aside from nutritional benefits, rambutan may have medicinal uses. The Online Culinary School website reports that eating this fruit may help kill intestinal parasites, and it may also aid in lessening symptoms of diarrhea. Malaysian healers also use parts of the rambutan to treat fevers.
