The longan, also known as lamyai, is a fruit that somewhat resembles the lychee. Longan is native to Southern China. The shell is bark-like, reddish/brown, thin and less rough than the lychee. This makes the fruit easy to shell. The flesh is whitish, translucent, somewhat musky, sweet, and tastes somewhat like mango.
The fruit can easily be shelled by squeezing the fruit out as if you are "cracking" a sunflower seed. The seed should not be eaten.
The fruit is commonly eaten out of hand. Longan is also made in jams, jellies or marmalade. Furthermore Longan is used to make tea or even liqueur.
Did you know?
Longan means "dragon eyes" in Chinese. The fruit is named so because of the resemblance to an eyeball when it is shelled.
Longan is related to the lychee and is sometimes referred to as the 'little brother of the lychee'.
Seeds of the longan contain saponin, which sometimes is used in shampoo.
