Whole Fruit
Whole-fruit longan is intact shell-on fruit reserved for storage, gift boxes, or later peeling—distinct from halves or shelled arils ready for the bowl. Recipes that count “10 longans” mean this form. Leave shells on until service so the aril stays moist. Retail clusters and tray packs are whole fruit. Once cracked, fruit should be eaten soon; exposed arils brown and dry at the edges.
