Ruby longan is a variety of longan fruit distinguished by its deep red to ruby-colored skin, unlike the more common brown-skinned longans. The fruit is characterized by a thin, leathery, and easily pealable skin, revealing a translucent white, juicy, and succulent flesh. The taste is described as extremely sweet, fragrant, and potentially with floral or honey-like undertones. It is similar in size (about 1.5 inches in diameter) to a ping pong ball. The fruit’s seed is small, round, and black, a typical characteristic of longan fruits.
