The peeled longan meat cannot be directly dried. Longan can't be dried directly, it should be blanched before drying. The blanching time is about one or two minutes, which can remove the bacteria from the epidermis, otherwise the longan may be bad. Dried longan, also known as Yizhi and longan pulp, is a dried mature fruit of longan.

How to dry dried longan:

Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, bring it to a boil with high fire, put the longan in boiling water, blanch it for about a minute or two, and take it to the sun to dry. The big longan should be dried for a long time. After drying for a few days, open one and try it. Be careful not to let the longan get caught in the rain during drying, otherwise it may grow insects or the meat inside will be moldy.

Identify dried longan:

1, dry longan shell is hard, brittle and easy to crack, biting the core with teeth, fragile and audible. For those who are affected with damp, the shell will only shrink and not be fragile, and the biting core will be tough, and the gravel will be silent.

2. Fingers touch the pulp, which is soft and tough but not wet. It tastes sweet and tender with fragrance, and there is no dry and hard feeling. There is no pool or less residue when chewing, and the water content of the pulp is 15- 19%. If the meat is thin and hard, it is not easy to peel off if it clings to the stone, and the color is black and brown with toughness, and the sweetness is insufficient, and the quality is poor if it is chewed.

3, dried longan should be boiled, as for the sound of shaking, the taste is bitter, it is over-baked, and the quality is worse.

4. There are water marks, black spots and marinated meat outside the shell, which is a reflection of excessive humidity or deterioration due to moisture.

5. Longan with thick meat and sweet taste is heavier than longan with thin meat, poor sweetness and good quality.

6, pay special attention to whether there is mildew and moth. There are two kinds of mildew, bright and dark. Ming mildew is the white mouth of the shell, which means that mildew has begun. If there are a few white mildew flowers on the shell, the meat has been slightly mildewed, and the flowers are many, and the meat has been severely mildewed. The longan shell color of cryptomycete is wilting, which is a reflection that the fresh fruit has deteriorated before baking and left traces of dry mildew.
