Dragon Eye, also known as "longan," is a small, translucent fruit native to Southeast Asia and widely used in Chinese cuisine and traditional medicine. Its name stems from its resemblance to an eyeball when peeled. Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and a small amount of potassium, Dragon Eye is celebrated for its immunity-boosting and skin health benefits. The fruit also contains dietary fiber, which aids digestion, and has natural sugars that provide a quick energy boost. However, its high fructose content means moderation is key, especially for those monitoring sugar intake. Longan is commonly enjoyed fresh, dried, or added to soups, teas, and desserts. Its mildly sweet, floral flavor makes it a versatile ingredient. Nutritional and flavorful, Dragon Eye can be a refreshing addition to a healthy diet when consumed mindfully.
