Thai fruits -Longan(1)

Thai fruits
The Longan (Simplified Chinese: 龙眼; Traditional Chinese: 龍眼; Pinyin: lóngyǎn; Cantonese long-ngan; literally "dragon eye"; Thai ลำไย) is an evergreen tree native to southern China. It is also found in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. It is also called guiyuan (桂圆) in Chinese, lengkeng in Indonesia, mata kucing in Malaysia, and quả nhãn in Vietnamese . The longan ("dragon eyes") is so named because of the fruit's resemblance to an eyeball when it is shelled (the black seed shows through the translucent flesh like a pupil/iris).
The fruit is edible, and is often used in East Asian soups, snacks, desserts, and sweet-and-sour foods. They are round with a thin, brown-coloured inedible shell. The flesh of the fruit, which surrounds a big, black seed, is translucent white, soft, and juicy.
Longans and lychees bear fruit at around the same time of the year. Dried longan (Chinese: 圓肉; Pinyin: yuánròu; literally "round meat") are often used in Chinese cuisine, Chinese food therapy and herbal medicine and Chinese sweet desert soups. In contrast with the fresh fruit, the flesh of dried longans is dark brown to almost black.
