fruit of the week



Kelengkang-is like a lychee but it is not. In the US it is called longan. I've never seen it or tasted it. The outside is covered by a light-brown, roughly-textured rind that is inedible but easily removed. The inside consists of a layer of sweet, translucent white flesh, with a texture somewhat similar to that of a peeled grape The center contains a single glossy brown nut-like seed.

Oh Girl, I would be there definitely trying out that martini thing. I do like peeled grapes, that is how I eat my grapes. Yummy Love Barbara
