Fresh longan from Thailand in a 500g pack. Longan, whose name means 'dragon's eye', is a small tropical fruit closely related to the lychee. Beneath its thin, light-brown shell lies translucent, juicy white flesh with a sweet, floral and slightly musky flavour, wrapped around a shiny dark seed. To eat, simply press or peel open the shell, pop the flesh into your mouth and discard the seed. Longans are delicious chilled as a snack, added to fruit salads, or served with ice cream and sorbets. They are also popular in Asian desserts, sweet soups and drinks. Longan is a good source of vitamin C. Store in the fridge in a perforated bag and enjoy within five to seven days for the best freshness. Carefully selected and quality-checked by Prana, and delivered fresh to your door. Pack size: 500g.
