Longan fruit, also called dragon eye, is a small, juicy tropical fruit with translucent flesh that melts in your mouth, shipped fresh from family farms to your door.
Fresh Longans, Sweet and Juicy
This box brings you fresh longans in a 3, 5, or 8 pound order, picked from the family farms our growers have worked for generations. Crack the thin tan shell and you find translucent flesh wrapped around a dark seed, which is how longan dragon eye earned its name. The flesh is succulent, sweet, and incredibly juicy, with a flavor close to grape and a light, musky floral note.
Longan is a close cousin of the lychee and rambutan, a little smaller and a touch less sweet, with its own personality. Eat fresh longan fruit straight from the shell, drop it into fruit salads, or blend it into sorbets and smoothies. Once you start it is genuinely hard to stop. Every order ships with our Arrive Fresh Guarantee, so your longans arrive juicy and ready to peel.

Best Ways to Enjoy Longan
Snacking Straight From the Shell
Fresh longan fruit is made for easy snacking. Pinch the thin shell, pop out the juicy flesh, and discard the seed. Their grape-like sweetness makes longans the kind of fruit that disappears by the handful.
Smoothies and Sorbets
Longans blend beautifully into sorbets, smoothies, and chilled desserts. The sweet, juicy flesh adds a floral, grape-like note, a refreshing base for warm-weather treats once you peel and seed the fruit.
Fruit Salads and Desserts
Fresh longan brightens any fruit salad or dessert. Peeled and pitted, the translucent flesh pairs well with lychee, mango, and citrus for a tropical bowl with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Lychee and Rambutan Fans
Longan dragon eye is a natural next pick for anyone who loves lychee or rambutan. As close cousins in the soapberry family, they share that juicy, floral character, with longan offering a milder twist.
