[T&T Supermarket] [GTA] Longan [Vietnam] 2/$3 – 2kg total

I don’t think I’ve seen Longan this cheap ever.

2X1kg containers of Longan for $3 is amazing. At $1.88 each it’s also an amazing deal.

Generally Longan goes for about $10-$13 a kg.

IYKYK, otherwise:

Longan is a small, round tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia.
It has:
A thin, light brown shell that cracks easily
Translucent, juicy flesh inside
A single shiny black seed in the center
Because the black seed shows through the clear flesh, it’s often called the “dragon’s eye” fruit.

Taste
Longan is:
Sweet and floral
Mildly musky
Less tangy than lychee
It’s similar to Lychee but usually a bit less perfumed and slightly more honey-like.

How it’s eaten
Fresh (just peel and pop it in your mouth — don’t eat the seed)
Dried (used in teas and soups)
In desserts, fruit salads, or Asian sweet soups
