Description

Longan is a wonderful and delicious tonic fruit used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a blood tonic, to build energy (Qi), to calm the mind, to strengthen the Spleen, to tonify the Qi of the heart, and to add luster and beauty to the skin.

Its Chinese name is Long Yan Rou, meaning "Dragon Eye Meat." Longan is so named because when fresh, the flesh of the peeled fruit is a translucent white colour. The dark brown seed shows through this translucent flesh and resembles the pupil of an eye, giving the fruit the appearance of the bulging eyes of dragons depicted in Chinese art.

When dried, the fruit becomes a lovely golden colour with a unique flavour unlike any other dried fruit — simultaneously sweet and somewhat savoury, with a hint of smokiness, and a delectable texture that is firm at first, then melts in the mouth. The dried fruit is considered one of China's greatest delicacies, with the finest Longan grown in the foothills of the Wuyi Mountains in southern China.

Dragon Herbs sources its Longan from its Di Tao origin in Fujian Province. Quality varies considerably — some producers soak Longan in sugar water to artificially enhance sweetness. Dragon Herbs uses only the highest quality, unsweetened Longan; it is naturally sweet enough without added sugar.

About Dragon Herbs

Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.

The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs is called Tonic Herbalism.

The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living. The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense.

Tonic herbs come from China. They also come from North and South America, Europe, Indonesia, Tibet, Bhutan, Africa, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and almost every region of the world. Tonic herbs are by their very nature safe and may be used for a lifetime.

Really good

"Really good"

— Polina G. (5/5)

Sweet, smoky nuggets of yumminess.

"Great little nuggets. An unusual taste, sweet with a hint of smokiness and a bit chewy. Great for snacking, in yoghourt, and much more besides."

— ✨Joanna P. (5/5)

Delicious and deeply nourishing

"This longan fruit is absolutely delicious and has become a staple in my healing routine. It’s a powerful blood builder and pairs perfectly with goji berries for a warm, soothing tea. Once soaked, the fruit becomes soft and lychee-like, so tasty and comforting. Dragon Herbs never disappoints, highest quality products, as always!"

— ✨AGNIESZKA B. (5/5)

Best berries

"I received a single sachet of longan with a recent order. After recovering from COVID a few years ago I regained approximately 70% of my senses of taste and smell. If these berries have a smoky flavour, it bypasses me completely. I do notice how sweet they are. They are incredibly moreish and deeply satisfying to munch on given their melt-in-the-mouth texture. As for their health benefits, time will tell. I'm stocking up on these."

— Drew T. (5/5)

Delicious

"Taste like little toffee drops. Delicious"

— ✨Sarah K. (5/5)

— Andrew B. (5/5)

Such a treat

"Longan fruit has such a lovely flavour, I could eat straight from the packet as a snack but I’m trying to ration it so I can keep making the Raw Living chocolate recipe, which is amazing!!"

— ✨Michelle G. (5/5)

Addicted to these

"Where have Longan berries been all my life!!!"

— Lia S. (5/5)

"These are so yummy. We have to ration ourselves not to eat them too fast... They are slightly soft with a sweet but not too sweet unusual and delicious longan flavour."

— Joanna P. (5/5)
