Can Rambutan Reduce Super Bowl Stress in COVID

February 7, 2021 by Beat of Hawaii 4 Comments

Rambutan

RambutanIt’s Super Bowl Sunday! At Beat of Hawaii, we plan to have a plate of Hawaii rambutan nearby for the game. Read why below.

According to news articles, your heart needs to relax during the game, and you should avoid fatty foods. NPR reported this from the New England Journal of Medicine. As fans, we are emotionally connected to the game and, “heart rate goes up, blood pressure goes up…this increases the oxygen demand on the heart.”

Here’s betting that sitting in a lotus position with a plate of rambutan will do just the trick to stay healthy and calm without missing a heartbeat.

Rambutan is an exotic fruit, and a favorite winter treat here in the islands. You’ll see them for sale at roadside stands or farmers’ markets from December through February. These leathery skinned fruits with pliable spines may seem odd at first. Whatever you do, don’t bite into them.

Here’s our playbook for the best way to prepare a plate of rambutan for the game:

  • Score outside with knife around the circumference.
  • Pass the half shell without the fruit.
  • Down and In. Hold the other half and squeeze the fruit in your mouth.
  • Penalty if you eat the seed inside while you enjoy the sweet taste. Although some friends eat them and say they are like almonds.

Where COVID fits into this picture. 

This year, due to COVID, we’re both keeping our Super Bowl partying on the down-low. That after reading that public health experts are warning against Super Bowl parties to prevent another COVID-19 surge. Sitting distanced in a small group in front of the TV eating rambutan is what’s in store here.

What’s on your Super Bowl plate?

    We will definitely miss the rambutan that we enjoy in our annual visit to Kauai in February. We always have a bowl of them in our condo, eating a few every day. Love the farmer’s markets, and will unfortunately miss them this year.

    This was a stressful Superbowl, up until the very end. I make smoothies out of rambutans. Splicing them down the middle and then taking out the put from each half is the easier way… then I put them in the blender and make a smoothie with them.

    I also drink lots of water. When you are hydrated you have less stress, cause you are so busy going to the bathroom!

    Exotic fruit is the way to go – I cant wait until the season comes back to get mangosteen!
