Similar in name and look to longan, the longkong delivers a juicy burst of sweet but not overwhelming flavour. It’s easy to remove the rubbery, speckled brown peel to reveal a thin layer of sticky, translucent flesh you nibble off the large seed. While the flesh of the longkong fruit is pleasantly light and refreshing, be careful not to bite too hard – the seed is very bitter. With this delicious fruit, it won’t be long before your longkong are long gone.
