Longan, native to Southeast Asia, is a tropical fruit known for its sweet, juicy flesh and subtle floral aroma. Often referred to as "dragon's eye" in Chinese cuisine due to its translucent pulp surrounding a shiny black seed, this fruit is widely used in snacks, desserts, and beverages. Longan is rich in vitamin C, offering immune support and antioxidative properties, while also containing potassium, magnesium, and small amounts of B vitamins for overall wellness. Its natural sugars provide a quick energy boost, making it a refreshing, low-calorie treat. Longan also supplies trace amounts of copper, essential for producing red blood cells, and may promote better sleep and relaxation due to its calming effect in traditional remedies. However, moderation is advised for individuals monitoring sugar intake. With its versatile flavor and nutritional benefits, longan adds both health and delight to various Asian-inspired dishes.
