Do you (preferably Asian) Know What This Is?

It's a red fruit with a core used in Chinese Tamales( zong ze) and it's more or less the size of a golf ball and is sour contained by the middle.

What's the American name

Answer:
We (Chinese) sometimes put red date in the zong zi, but the size of the dried red date is only 1/5 golf orb and it isn't sour in the middle. Lotus kernel is milky white in colour and the middle is bitter. We seldom use pomagranete as satisfying of zong zi.
I presume you're talking more or less longan fruit.
...i own no idea sorry... :(
Lychee fruit? Does it have a leathery skin next to something like tacky hairs on the outside? The inside is sort of approaching a grape with a voluminous seed surrounded by the middle?

I first saw these when deployed to Thailand. No one knew the correct baptize, so my fellow Marines and I called them dishevelled balls.
The only seed that I know which are fairly adjectives in zongzi are lotus seed. However, there are so oodles possible fillings. The seed of the red fruit you are talking more or less though wouldn't be a common ingredient.
Aside from the fruits already mentioned, Pitaya (dragon fruit) is a red fruit which is commonly added to Asian foods.
not asia- pomagranete?
pomegranate.... it's more of an apple size but seeds look resembling teeth...(but they are red)
