Longan from Lingshan County
Historical records indicate that longan has been cultivated since the Han Dynasty, with main varieties including Linglong, Chuliang, Shixia, and Guangyan. The fruits are large with small pits, and the edible portion accounts for 60–65% of the total weight. The flesh is tender, glossy, juicy, and sweet, and has long been regarded as a premium fruit. In addition to being eaten fresh, it is also processed into canned goods and dried longan. Canned longan is sweet and delicious, while dried longan is an effective remedy for palpitations, insomnia, memory decline caused by heart-spleen blood deficiency, and serves as a tonic for women after childbirth.
