Longans are a close relative to the lychee. Both Lychees and Longans are in the Sapindaceae family and the trees bear a close resemblance. Longans have a spicey sweet flavor which grows on you the more fruit you eat. Longans are more tropical than lychees and they are highly prixed throughout all of tropical Asian countries. Longans can be purchased by the pound.

Most of the recipes in our collection are compatible with longans. Our famous longan appetizer involves rolling a piece of smoked ham with a pitted longan and a piece of flavorful cheese such as brie

We are very careful to pick and ship only ripe fruit.

It appears as though far South Florida (Miami-Dade and Broward Counties) has entered a weather cycle which is characterized by warm winters. This is bad news for lychee growers, since winter chilling is essential for flowering and fruiting. We believe that lychee fruit production will shift into areas of Central and North Central Florida in repsonse to this climatic trend.

We have had to increase the weights of some of our products to compensate for the fuel surcharges that we get billed for after the fact by our shipper. So if the weights seem a bit off this is the reason for it. Also since all of our shipping is express (i.e. next day or second day air we are charged dimensional weights)

The Sweetheart is the very popular new variety from Homestead that has a large fruit and a small seed and as is considered one of the finest lychee fruit by everyone who has tried it. Last year the fruit was so popular that we sold out as soon as it became available. This fruit is very rare and hard to come by, but we have a very special arrangement with the primary grower.

The Mauritius is a popular commercial variety with a larger seed, but a very pleasant sub-acid sweet flavor. It is typically an earlier variety than the Brewster. To purchase Mauritius lychees click here: Purchase Mauritius Lychees

The Haak yip (Black Leaf), is another very large fruit with a small seed. It shares many characteristics with the Sweetheart and is felt that the Sweetheart may in fact be a hybrid of the Haak yip. To purchase Haak yip lychees click here: Purchase Haak yip Lychees
