Dried longan, also known as longan and longan meat, is the sun-dried ripe fruit of longan. It is neutral in nature and sweet in taste. It contains chemical components such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and ascorbic acid. It has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, calming the mind, nourishing blood, and relieving miscarriage. It is suitable for insomnia and forgetfulness, spleen deficiency, diarrhea, and lack of energy.

Although many brands of dried longan on the market are branded as "Putian dried longan", in fact 95% of dried longan comes from Thailand. As we all know, Thailand is a big fruit country. Because it is located in a tropical rainforest climate with abundant sunlight and rain, longan can be produced in Thailand for two seasons. In addition, the Thai government encourages exports, so there is a large amount of dried longan imported from Thailand on the Chinese market every year. Due to the influence of my country's climate, Putian's dried longan is only produced once a year, and its output is far inferior to that of Thai dried longan. So which one is better, the imported Thai longan or the local Putian longan?

Today I will make a comparison of several popular dried longan brands on the market. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The above major brands are the best-selling dried longan brands on the market. Generally speaking, dried longan is basically produced in Thailand, but most merchants indicate the place of origin as Putian. Of course, this is related to the business strategy of the merchant, or to the brand awareness of the merchant. I still hope that the merchant can improve its integrity and treat customers candidly. There is no need to sell things like sheep and dogs.
