Product Details

This tropical superfruit coming from Southeast Asia has been revered as a succulent and nourishing berry similar to lychee. Commonly referred to as “dragon’s eye” fruit, dried Longan berries have long been used in the Asian tradition as a medicinal tonic, known as Long Yan Rou, to strengthen both Heart and Spleen meridians and for calming the Shen in order to encourage a peaceful state with increased vitality. Longan berries are a source of Vitamin C and Fiber. Organic Traditions Longan berries are hand harvested from a small organic farm in Thailand. Collected when fully ripe, the kernels are removed and sun-dried in order to retain nutritional vibrancy and optimal flavor.

Suggested Use

Organic Traditions Longan berries can be eaten alone as a delicious snack or combined with other Organic Traditions superfoods in order to create a nutritious trail mix. Add them to your favorite herbal tea for an added touch of sweetness. Make purées, spreads, jams and sauces. Add them to raw superfood energy bars and cookies and use for baking.
