The longan, nicknamed "dragon's eye," is a tropical fruit from Southeast Asia, closely related to the lychee (same family, the Sapindaceae). Its translucent flesh is juicy and sweet, with a delicate and slightly musky flavor, somewhat more subtle than that of the lychee. When freeze-dried, it becomes crunchy and its flavor intensifies.
Does freeze-dried longan contain added sugar ?
No. Our freeze-dried longan is made of 100% longan, with no added sugar, additives, or preservatives. The 72 g of sugars per 100 g are solely the naturally occurring sugars in the fruit, concentrated by the removal of water.
How to consume freeze-dried longan ?
You can snack on it as is, add it to muesli, granola, or a fruit salad, incorporate it into a smoothie, or let it infuse in kefir water or homemade kombucha. Rehydrated for a few minutes, it regains a softer texture. Since its flavor is concentrated, a small amount is enough.
