Some call me a nut and I look like a mutant

I am the fruit of the Soapberry tree. I am native to China, but today I am cultivated all over the globe. My single black seed is surrounded by smooth aromatic and juicy opaque flesh while covered by a rough, slightly spiked, leathery reddish pink shell. I have a wild cousin who grows hair on his shell, but he had to get radiated to travel so you don't see too much of him. I have been referred to as a nut, but I look more like a mutant strawberry. Eaten fresh I have a sweet acidic musty flavor and I get devoured out of hand or in fruit salads. You will also find me canned in a dried form where my pulp turns black and my flavor becomes similar to that of a Muscat grape. I am rich in vitamin C.

What am I?

Rambutan
Annona
Longan
Lychee
