Identification method 1: Longli, alias "crazy fruit", will melt when boiled in water, but the original dried longan will not, which is one of the simple identification methods; Method 2: Longli, alias "Crazy Fruit", tastes like brown sugar, and the local dried longan tastes like rock sugar. Identification method 3: Longli, alias "Crazy Fruit", has no fragrance, while the local longan can smell the fragrance within a few meters. Method 4: Tear off the meat and put it under the lamp. Just be transparent. Thailand Longli looks like longan, but when you tear its meat, you will find that you can't tear the whole meat, and the meat is black. Identification method 5: At present, there is a dried fruit that looks like longan on the market, and the peel has obvious turtle-tumor-like protrusions. After peeling off the shell, the fruit is oval, and the longitudinal diameter is obviously larger than the transverse diameter; When peeling meat, the stone is oval with longitudinal grooves, and the meat is very thin and sticky.

So how to buy real natural, healthy and authentic dried longan? Now consumers have seen enough dried longan in the supermarket, many of which are thick and tasteless; I have seen enough dried longan in bulk in the street market, which is very cheap; I've seen enough of all kinds of dried longan meat. But I don't know that these dried longan were bought by merchants or distributors, and deceived consumers through deep processing. In the market, this is already a very common thing. Consumers should try to choose big brands of dried longan, such as "Jinji brand" pineapple dried longan. Then, only dried longan with shell can be original, natural and healthy, without manual intervention.
