Product description

Origin: Longan, a native fruit to Southern Asia, means "dragon's eye" in Chinese, because the unshelled fruit resembles a dragon's eyeball. The black seed of the longan fruit shows through its translucent flesh. The fruit is a tropical member of the soapberry family, which is the same family the lychee belongs to.

Flavor Profile: Longans are very juicy, with a high water content water, and high in natural sugars; so it is very sweet. The translucent flesh has the consistency of a grape and it also has a grape-like taste to some.

How to eat
