tropical fruit - lansones
    #8008388 - 02/11/08 11:29 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)







i tried this when i was in the Philippines and it was pretty awesome! I was able ot take some home and bah..I finished all of them just after we arrived :frown: Has anyone tried this fruit before?

It originated in Malaysia but the Philippines grows the most in the world due to the perfect climate and conditions for this particular fruit. It's not in season at the moment but if you scour through the marketplaces...you'll be able to find good fruit.

in my opinion, it tastes somewhat like a cross between lychee and rambutan.

Do they also come in a bunch on the original branches they grow on?

If they're the fruit I'm thinking of, for some reason Spanish-speaking and Caribbean people call then g'nips here, but I think they are called Longan in China and maybe other Asian countries.

At any rate, they're definitely closely related to gnips.

The flesh looks a lot like a lychee as well.  Wish I had some! :crazy2:

they do come in bunches on the branch but they're not longan...the longan fruit after you peel off the shell looks just like a lychee, the flesh covering the seed. with lansones, the bitter seed is in one of the lansones pieces - you can say it looks like a lychee orange
