Longan
Longan is native to Southern China and is also found in many areas of Southeast Asia. Its name "Longan" literally means "dragon eyes". When the fruit has been shelled, it will reveal an obvious transparent flesh and through this, you can see its small black seed. All together, it resembles an eyeball and so, there is the origin of its name.

can you eat the Longan alone? and can it be bought in America?
Well, good food is always best when shared with others. But if your not the sharing type...sure! why not eat it alone. =) You can by Longan in America at international supermarkets or specialty supermarkets.
