Dried Longan Fruit (Long Yan Rou) | (100g bottle)

About

Dried Longan Fruit (Long Yan Rou) is a firm favourite throughout Asia for being deliciously sweet and juicy - quite similar to grapes!

In southern Asia, Longan grows in abundance due to the tropical climate and sandy soil.

They are related to other exquisite stoned fruits such as lychees and rambutans - each having inedible shells which encase an indulgent sweet fruit.

Longan translates to 'dragon eyes', and was named this because the black stone is visible through the translucent fruit, resembling the eye of a dragon.

At Vita, we supply premium quality concentrated herbal granules for busy individuals that do not have the time to decoct Chinese herbs traditionally.

Unlike other brands, our concentrated granules are produced using state of the art 'Spray Drying' technology, meaning a purer end product and 2-3 times higher concentration.

Recommended Dosage

We recommend a couple of grams decocted per use of concentrated herbal granules.

Remember to store these granules in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness. It's recommended to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
