Affectionately known as the 'Dragon's Eye'.

The longan is a delicate sweet fruit. It makes for a great healthy snack suitable to any time of day.

Benefits:

• Longans are a good source of vitamin C.
• They contain 80% water.
• Longans are low in fat.

Storage:

• Store refrigerated for up to fourteen days or at room
  temperature for up to five days.

Taste:

• The translucent flesh is sweet and musky with a slightly tangy flavour.

Preparation:

• Simply squeeze at the stalk end of the fruit and the pulp should be released. Do not eat the seed.

Tip:

• Longan fruit is generally consumed fresh out-of-hand, although some maintain the fruit is improved by cooking. Why not try adding to a Thai Curry - served in a Kulaway Nut.
