Longan is also called longan. Many friends have asked me about the difference between longan and longan. In fact, they are the same thing and there is no difference. Why is it called longan? Since longan was taboo in the feudal era, it was called longan to avoid taboos. The longan produced in Guangxi is very popular, so it was called longan. Gui is another name for Guangxi.

There is no substantial difference, it is actually the same fruit.

Longan: Longan is usually dried in the sun and used for edible or medicinal purposes.

Longan: fresh fruit, peeled and broken into branches before consumption. After longan is dried in the shell and core, it is called dried longan.
