What's the difference between longan and longan?

Longan and longan are the same fruit. Longan is named after its round black luster and white umbilical protuberance, which resembles the legendary "dragon" eye.

Longan is a dried product of longan. The pulp is irregular, and there is still a lot of space in the epidermis that does not fill the whole peel. There is less juice, but it tastes sweeter and more greasy. Longan is a kind of fresh fruit with round pulp, white pulp, juicy and sweet taste, but it is not easy to store, so it can't be eaten all the time, so it can only be eaten in the peak season. Longan is easy to preserve and can be eaten all year round, and there are many ways to eat it. Longan is mainly produced in Fujian, Taiwan Province and Guangxi, and also cultivated in southern and southeastern Asia.
