Natural

A cure for insomnia and stomach aches, an immunity and energy booster, longans are not just a traditional Chinese delicacy. This sweet cousin of the lychee is also a popular anti-aging and beauty-boosting ingredient. Packing a punch in terms of its vitamin C content, the longan also contains a significant amount of iron which reduces the likelihood of anaemia. Its sweet flavour makes it a great addition to any herbal soups or teas as well.
Fun fact: Fresh longans look like an eyeball when peeled, thus earning it the nickname of ‘dragon’s eye’.

Country of Origin: China

What Does This Taste Like?
Natural sweetness and fragrance of longan.

Health Benefits
1. Longans are extremely low in calories and are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, copper, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese and several B vitamins including folic acid.
2. Longans contain antioxidants and vitamins B and C, making it an anti-aging ingredient that is beneficial for healthy skin as well. Vitamin C aids in boosting collagen synthesis.
3. May help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and insomnia.
4. Longans are warming and detoxifying as well as being a good source of iron. This may aid in blood production and thus reduce the likelihood of anaemia, particularly during menstruation.
