Fruit of The Day

Posted bykmeyerk18Posted inUncategorized

Great tropical fruits here in southern Thailand. Today’s pick is longan a member of the soapberry family. In the US we know lychee which is in the same family. Longan looks like an eyeball with opaque flesh around a hard seed. About the size of a large marble with a tough skin that “breaks” when you bit into the fruit. 

Longan fruit with taste and texture similar to lychee fruit.
Coastal gooseberry are pear textured with an sweet apple flavor and size and hard pit like a plum.
