Longans are amazing fruits. Have you tried a Dragon eye? Not the real thing, of course, the little fruit that our Tropifruiters go crazy for. Why? Not hard to guess, they are succulent, sweet, and incredibly juicy. When you bite into the translucent flesh, it feels like it melts in your mouth.

The longan is a close cousin of the Lychee and the Rambutan but they are really the only ones that look like a real dragon eye. It comes from the Soapberry tree and it's called dragon's eye due to its contrasting white flesh and dark seed.

If you haven't tried Longan, you are in for a treat. If you've tried it, you know what you are in for.
