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.
If you want a Jak Fruit you need to place a standing order with us (954) 648-6020. Jak Fruit ripen at different times and they vary widely in weight ( 8 lbs - 50 lbs).
You need to give us a weight range and when a fruit within this ranges becomes ripe we will ship it to you and subsequently bill your credit card.

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)
