Florida Grown Longan (Not in Season) Available July-August

Florida-Grown Longan

Our Florida-Grown Longan is a tropical delight, cultivated in the sunshine state for a naturally sweet, slightly floral taste that’s both refreshing and exotic. Known as the “dragon’s eye” for its translucent flesh and single dark seed, longan is beloved across Asia and is now available locally for you to enjoy at peak freshness.

Health Benefits: Longan is a powerhouse of antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, which supports immune health and reduces oxidative stress. It’s also a good source of B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, aiding in energy production, red blood cell health, and muscle function. Traditionally, longan is prized in Eastern medicine for promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and enhancing skin health, making it a delicious and nutritious choice.

How to Eat Longan:

• Fresh and Raw: Simply peel the thin outer shell to reveal the juicy flesh inside, then pop it into your mouth, discarding the seed.
• In Fruit Salads: Add peeled longan to a mix of tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and lychee for a refreshing, exotic twist.
• In Desserts and Drinks: Use longan as a topping for shaved ice, incorporate it into smoothies, or add it to bubble tea for a pop of sweetness and texture.
• Dried or Cooked: Dried longan has a richer, caramel-like flavor that works wonderfully in teas, soups, or traditional Asian desserts.

Enjoy the sweet, subtle taste of our Florida-Grown Longan and bring a taste of the tropics to your day!
