Organic Longan

Usage: If you’re an enthusiast of the various types of fruits available throughout the region, you’ll surely have heard of the humble yet tasty fruit known as the longan. Also known by the scientific name dimocarpus longan, the longan is a fruit that grows on large, verdant trees with bright green leaves in the wild, taking the form of light brown or beige balls growing in bunches, with thick skin that is easily peeled to reveal an orb of white translucent flesh surrounding a hard black seed.

The fruit possesses a springy, chewy texture and a sweet flavor accompanied by a certain tart odor that may prove an acquired taste, though not as severe as that of the durian, another well-known and spiky Southeast Asian fruit.

Like many other fruits, the Organic Longan provided by Super Fresh Fruits and Vegetable Enterprise can prove surprisingly versatile for the culinary-minded; here is an example of an Almond Jelly recipe that is often served with longan:

1) Prepare clean pure water, sugar, agar agar (jelly) powder, honey or sweet syrup of your choice, almond powder, milk, and Organic Longan. Canned longan are often used in similar recipes, but using fresh Organic Longan will improve the flavor even further. Peel and chill the longan in a refrigerator in advance for at least 8 hours before following the rest of these steps.
2) In a saucepan or pot, bring the mixture of water, sugar, and agar agar powder to boil.
3) Once the water boils, lower heat and stir the mixture for at least 10 minutes, ensuring that the mixture becomes crystal clear so as to prevent clumping of the resulting jelly.
4) Stir the almond powder finely into the hot mixture before removing from the stove.
5) Mix in the milk and stir further.
6) Pour the mixture into molds and allow them to set.
7) Serve the completed Almond Jelly alongside the chilled longan and honey or syrup of your choice.

This chilly dessert highlights the tart flavor of the fruit in contrast with the stronger sweetness of honey and the milky texture of almond jelly. Even so, it is only one of many ways to enjoy this delicious and juicy fruit. Why not experiment more with Organic Longan to discover even more recipes in various types of food?

Overview of Organic Longan

Originating from China, dimocarpus longan is a fruit with a long history. It is noted to be a close cousin of the litchi chinensis plant, better known as the lychee, and further more shares traits such as juicy white flesh and thick skin with fruits such as the rambutan or the mangosteen. While solid and firm when unripe, once it ripens the longan fruit proves pliant and easily peeled.

Thanks to its flavor, the longan is often used as an accompaniment for desserts, or cold and refreshing juices with ice.

The name “longan” itself is derived from the Cantonese pronounciation of the Mandarin word lung-yan, which literally means “dragon eye”. Indeed, through the translucent, soft white flesh of the fruit, the shiny, solid black seed looks a lot like the pupil and iris of a supernatural creature.

Appearance not withstanding, the longan is a delectable and refreshing fruit that is worth trying not only for its taste but also its many nutritional benefits, even more so with the Organic Longan painstakingly harvested and transported by Super Fresh Fruits and Vegetable Enterprise.

While it may seem strange or exotic at first, Organic Longan is simply a healthy and natural fruit like any other. When you’re looking at a way to enjoy a sweet snack or quench your thirst, or even a new ingredient in your recipes, why not make Organic Longan your next choice?
