Longan (Euphoria longana)
The longan is known as the "little brother" of the lychee. Sometimes called Dragon's Eye, the longan, rambutan, and lychee all belong to the Sapindaceae family. Longan is round or oval and a little larger than an olive. Its thin, rough, caramel-colored shell is easily peeled. Longan pulp is white translucent and surrounds a large, round, deep brown seed. While the longan's flesh is sweeter than a lychee's, it is not as juicy.
