9. Longan's Subtle Sweetness
Often overshadowed by its cousin, the lychee, longan offers a gently sweet juice with delicate floral notes. Properly made longan juice has a light, translucent appearance and a natural sweetness that requires no added sugar. To prepare the juice, remove the thin brown shell and separate the dark seed from the flesh. Longan juice is rich in vitamin C and potassium, making it both refreshing and nutritious. It blends well with other fruit juices and is valued in traditional Asian medicine for its cooling properties and potential health benefits.
