Experience
Have you experienced the “dragon’s eye?” This sweet and tropical fruit is a member of the same family of fruit as lychee, a crowd-pleaser on FruitStand.
Tasting Notes
Longan are a very juicy and sweet tropical fruit, high in natural sugar content. Often referred to in the same sentence as lychee, they have both the consistency and slight flavor of a grape.
About The Harvest
The longan are small, tan-colored delicacies that, when cracked open, reveal the most amazingly sweet flesh with a black, dragon’s eye seed shining through. Discard the shell and seed and you have a gourmet experience you won’t soon forget.
You will get four (4) pounds of fresh, Florida-grown longan shipped directly from Serendib Farms in Redland, Florida to your door using FedEx two-day air to maximize freshness.

- Enjoy the succulent semi-transparent flesh
Uneaten longan (if there are any leftover) can be safely stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. Store the longan in a plastic bag (try to remove the air as much as possible) in the refrigerator. If they turn slightly browner, that’s ok. As long as they aren’t bruised or too soft they should still be good to eat.
- Sweet and mildly tart with musky undertones reminiscent of lychee

In the Middle
Okay, so I love love longan, but cannot give this a 5 star. Unfortunately there was an exceptionally high level of waste from this experience. I'm not sure if they were picked too ripe, or it's just too much middle of the summer extra hot transit weather. Either way we only got to enjoy a fraction of these gems (the ones that were in good condition were fantastic and flavorful), so it was painful having to toss any! I reached out to Jenny who made everything right - this company does stand behind their products. I'd totally consider giving this another shot in the future.

Great summer treat
I froze mine so that I can have a dozen or so at a time thaw out as I sit in outside. It's really refreshing!
