Product Description
A traditionally consumed dried fruit used for centuries in Asian food and wellness cultures, valued for its flavour and role in traditional dietary practices.
Longan by Dragon Herbs is a premium dried fruit traditionally enjoyed throughout Asia as both a snack and a culinary ingredient. Known in Chinese as Long Yan Rou, meaning “Dragon Eye,” longan gets its name from the fruit’s appearance when fresh - the dark seed visible through the translucent flesh resembles an eye.
When dried, longan develops a rich golden colour and a distinctive flavour that is naturally sweet with subtle smoky and savoury notes. Its texture is gently firm at first bite and softens as it is eaten, making it a popular ingredient in traditional food preparations, teas, and desserts, as well as a satisfying snack on its own.
Dragon Herbs Longan is sourced from a traditional Di Tao growing region in Fujian Province, Southern China, and is naturally dried without added sugar. The fruit is carefully selected for quality, flavour, and texture, reflecting its long history of use in regional food cultures.
Longan can be enjoyed straight from the bag or incorporated into a wide variety of dishes and beverages, offering a simple way to explore traditional ingredients as part of a varied, balanced diet.
