A premium fruit similar to its cousin the Lychee. This is a translucent flesh surrounded by a tan, somewhat brittle rind. The flesh is crisp, sweet, juicy and mildly aromatic.
The fruit has a short shelf life. Refrigerated fruit will store for about a week. The fruit can be frozen, canned or dried. Dried within its rind it is referred as the "longan nut" and without the rind a "longan raisin".
This fruit is sold by the pound. Loose fruit is also available clamshell containers..
Longan Harvest is over for 2018.
