Sometimes called a berry and sometimes called a nut, longan is actually neither. Instead, it is a fruit related to the lychee. Longans grow in clusters on trees. The fruit is very round and about the size of a large grape. Beneath the tough, tan shell, you'll find the white flesh of the fruit surrounding a dark seed. This structure is the source of its nickname, dragon's eye. The flesh of longan fruit resembles that of a grape in taste and texture, but longan has a hint of musk in the flavor.
