Longan Meat

I believe you can eat longan meat often, but I believe you still don’t know much about some common sense. Let me tell you below.

Longan Meat

Longan is named for its black and shiny seeds and white navel, which looks like the eyes of the legendary "dragon". Fresh longan is very tender, juicy, sweet and delicious, which is beyond the reach of other fruits. Fresh longan is dried into dried fruit and becomes longan in traditional Chinese medicine. The raw longan flesh is irregular pieces split longitudinally from the top, about 1.5 cm long, 1.3 to 3.5 cm wide, and less than 1 mm thick. The surface is yellow-brown and translucent; the side close to the peel is wrinkled and rough, and the side close to the seed coat is shiny and has longitudinal wrinkles. It is soft and slightly sticky, often sticking together in blocks. It has a fragrant smell and a strong, sweet and special taste.
