What is Longan?

Longan is a small, round fruit that grows on the longan tree, a member of the lychee family. The fruit has a thin, brown shell, which is easily peeled to reveal translucent, juicy flesh. The flesh of the longan fruit is sweet, floral, and slightly musky, with a texture similar to lychee, though it’s less tangy.

The fruit has long been a staple in Southeast Asian cuisines, where it is used in both sweet and savory dishes. Its natural sweetness makes it an excellent addition to desserts, while its refreshing texture also complements savory meals and beverages.
