Longan
The “dragon’s eye”: a small, translucent, sweet and musky bead, bite-sized.
The longan is a small round fruit with thin light brown skin, which hides translucent, juicy, firm flesh around a shiny stone. Its taste, sweet with a musky note, recalls lychee but more subtly. It is eaten by squeezing it to push the flesh out. It is offered in punnets, practical for presentation.
