Fact: The word "longan" means "dragon's eye" in mandarin. Which is literally what the fruit resembles when opened. The flesh resembles the sclera (white part of the eye) and the seed a pupil, thus an eye.
It looks like a rambutan without the spines. Is that what it tastes like? Almost grape-like without the skin… I love fruit so much. If I could eat it all day every day, I would. Why does it have to be so expensive to eat healthy?! 😩
