The lychee is native to the southern regions of China, and is believed to have been grown for over 2, years. Lychee production has now spread to most subtropical regions of the world and can be found in countries as disparate as Australia, France, and North America.
The history of the longan is less clear cut with some thoughts that it originated in the mountains that lie between Myanmar and China, although it is recognised that the fruit originated somewhere within the wider region. The rambutan, lychee, and longan are known for the white colour of their flesh, with each fruit having an inedible dark coloured seed that lies in the middle. All three fruits grow on trees and can be eaten straight off the branch, but also from a can as the flesh is also available in cans as a packaged good.
I will do more research in this area. Eaten in moderation, longan and lychee can be part of a healthy eating plan. People with diabetes can enjoy them in moderation if they consider the sugar and carb contents and check blood sugar levels when eating new fruits. Fruit is linked to many health benefits, but it contains sugar, leading many to question its effects on weight loss. This article gets to the bottom….

While they all have white flesh, are grown on trees, and have a large, dark seed in the middle, they do have their own traits. Rambutan is creamier than the others, and a bit larger. Lychee is a bit crisper and more acidic. Longan is a bit more tart. All three are great sources of vitamin C, according to Healthline.
Their flavors can be similar when combined with alcohol or enjoyed in sorbets or desserts. They are also all delicious in cheese plates, fruit salads, savory sauces, syrups, cocktails, custards, jellies, smoothies, and much more. Read ahead for more specific differentiation between the three similar fruits. Lychee is a rather small fruit with a unique appearance.
It is native to China, but also grows in other warm areas in multiple countries. It is sometimes called "alligator strawberry" or a lychee nut. The flavor is slightly floral and can be eaten as is, but is also often blended or pureed into cocktails, desserts, or smoothies.
The fruit contains a husk or shell, the pale flesh, and a seed. It has just the right balance of not to sweet and not to tart, that I could eat a pound of them without feeling full! The Asian market has plastic gallon jugs that are filled with individual jellied lychees and I've been known to eat an entire container. Image courtesy of kongsky. The Longan has a light brown smooth outer skin and is also called the dragon eye fruit. The flesh is white and there is a black seed in the middle, hence the name, Dragon Eye fruit.
While they all have a black seed in the middle, the ratio of seed to fruit is almost perfect in a longan and looks like an eyeball when cut in half. This fruit has a more tart and distinctive flavor.

I recommend doing a taste test and since everyone's taste buds are different I'd love to get your feedback with your taste test stats.
