Longan is a tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia and is grown in many parts of the world with a similar climate. The fruit is small and round, with a thin, brown, and leathery skin that covers a juicy, white, translucent flesh that surrounds a single seed. Longan is often compared to lychee fruit in terms of appearance, flavor, and texture, but has a milder and more delicate flavor.
Longan fruit is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and copper. It is commonly consumed fresh, but can also be dried, canned, or used to make beverages, desserts, and jams. In traditional Chinese medicine, longan is believed to have various health benefits, such as improving digestion, promoting relaxation, and strengthening the heart and nervous system.
Our Longan is a Kohala seedling from trees grown in New Zealand, which are prolific fruiting trees from Northland.
