Description
The longan is a tropical fruit. The longan has very sweet tasting flesh with a slightly tart, musky undertone. It is similar to a lychee in flavor, only blander, and it has a less pronounced floral aroma. The texture is gelatinous and closely mimics a grape, although it is a little chewier. It is also quite juicy, and the flesh is more transparent than that of a lychee.
