About Longan

The Longan, also known as dragon eye, is a tropical fruit in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It's native to Southeast Asia and known for its sweet, juicy flesh and translucent white pulp surrounding a black seed, resembling an eye. Longans are commonly eaten fresh, dried, or used in desserts, soups, and drinks. They are prized for their delicate flavor, which is sweeter and more aromatic than lychee. The fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Their small size makes them easy to snack on and incorporate into various dishes.

Size Overview

The Longan fruit is a small, spherical fruit, typically about the size of a large grape. It measures approximately 20mm in width, height, and length, which translates to 2.0cm. Its round shape allows it to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. A Longan is roughly the size of a small marble or a hazelnut.
