| Longan Fruit | ||
| Longans are well recognized as a premier tropical fruit in Thailand and China. The Chinese nicknamed the longan Dragons Eye because of its white oval eye-like shape where the pit looks similar to an eyes pupil. The botanical name for longans is euphoria langana. Each longan fruit is .75 to 1.5 inches in diameter with only one seed. | ||
| The longan is a succulent fruit that is fragrant, sweet, extremely juicy, easy to eat, and consistently outranks other varieties in taste tests. The smooth thin leathery brown skin varies from light brown when most fresh, then begins to turn darker brown with age and/or environmental changes. Once the skin has been easily peeled off, the translucent grape-like fruit is exposed. Longans are mostly eaten fresh by themselves and in salads. Refrigerated longans taste very refreshing. |
Minimum Order:The minimum order is 10 pallets (1,120 10 lb. boxes). | ||
Availability:Not In-Stock | ||
Selection & Storage:Longans should be preferably selected while still brown in color. If possible, wrap the longans in paper towel or thin tissue paper before storing them in recommended humid environment at 34-40F, this will help prevent the longan skin from deteriorating and help maintain the light brown color longer as opposed to turning dark brown. |
