Sometimes called a berry and sometimes called a nut, longan is actually neither. Instead, it is a fruit related to the lychee. Longans grow in clusters on trees. The fruit is very round and about the size of a large grape. Beneath the tough, tan shell, you’ll find the white flesh of the fruit surrounding a dark seed.
What does a longan berry taste like?
The longan fruit is very juicy, mostly water, and high in natural sugar content, so it is very sweet. The translucent flesh has the consistency of a grape and it also taste grape-like. There are tropical flavors as well, with a hint of muskiness/funk. But the musk flavor isn’t unpleasant.
How do longans taste?
The flesh has a musky, sweet taste, which can be compared to the flavor of lychee fruit. The longan tree is somewhat sensitive to frost.
