Today I tried my first Longan. It had a thick brown peel, then it was like a grape inside, with a black pit in the middle very tasty. Anyone ever have one before?
I joined 365 Project in September of 2023. I joined mainly to appreciate other's photographs... but hope to revive the amateur photographer in me. My...
Lovely shot of these delicious fruits. We have Litchi here and I like them a lot. I believe that the difference is in the flavour. Litchees are sweet and fragrant and longans have a more tart, musky flavour.
Like Christina, I have had longans in Asia. Freshly picked from the tree. Same family as lychee and rambutan, I believe. I love them, but have never seen them for sale other than in Asia.
Like some other people, I've tried lychee (many years ago), but not longan! This picture really fits the current BLD challenge theme, if you'd like to enter it! (The theme is "New Year, New Food" and the tag is bld-26)
@princessicajessica FUN! Thanks for telling me about it. I love the challenge name. I would like to learn more about seeing where the word of the day and challenges are. I did join the challenge you shared. Right now the RAINBOW CALENDAR is keeping me tied up. I'm loving it. Haha!
I have not heard of them but they look and sound very interesting. I'd definitely try one. There's an Asian Market opening up here soon- maybe they'll have some. Nice shot!
