Dried Longan, also known as "dragon's eye," is the dehydrated pulp of the longan fruit. The drying process concentrates its sugars, resulting in a very sweet, slightly smoky, and musky flavor with a uniquely chewy texture. A staple in Chinese cuisine and traditional medicine, it is used to make sweet dessert soups (tong sui), herbal teas, and as an ingredient in savory broths to add a subtle sweetness. A delicious and versatile dried fruit.
