Longans are amazing fruits. Have you tried a Dragon eye? Not the real thing, of course, the little fruit that our Tropifruiters go crazy for. Why? Not hard to guess, they are succulent, sweet, and incredibly juicy. When you bite into the translucent flesh, it feels like it melts in your mouth.
The longan is a close cousin of the Lychee and the Rambutan but they are really the only ones that look like a real dragon eye. It comes from the Soapberry tree and it's called dragon's eye due to its contrasting white flesh and dark seed.
If you haven't tried Longan, you are in for a treat. If you've tried it, you know what you are in for.
If you think a whole box of Longan Fruit is too much, you can create your own tropical fruit box and add longan as one of the fruits in your favorite personalized tropical mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between red and yellow dragon fruit?
Red-skinned dragon fruit (pitaya) typically has white or red flesh and a milder flavor. Yellow dragon fruit (yellow pitaya) has white flesh, a thicker rind, and a sweeter, more concentrated flavor. TFB carries all three and offers mixed-variety boxes if you want to compare them side by side.
How do you know when dragon fruit is ripe and ready to eat?
A ripe dragon fruit gives slightly to gentle pressure, similar to a ripe avocado or mango. The skin should be bright and evenly colored, with few brown blotches. TFB hand-sorts every box for ripeness before shipping, so most arrive ready to eat or needing only a day or two at room temperature.
Can you eat the seeds inside dragon fruit?
Yes. The small black seeds throughout the flesh are edible and have no meaningful flavor of their own. There is no need to remove them before eating.
Where does TFB source its dragon fruit?
TFB sources dragon fruit from family farms, with availability varying by season and variety. Every box is hand-sorted at the time of packing and ships Monday through Thursday to ensure it arrives in the best possible condition.
