The month of Ramadan is always synonymous with a variety of refreshing dishes. After a day of fasting, many people choose light, sweet, and refreshing dishes for their iftar. It is no surprise that various fruit-based dishes are a favorite choice, ranging from fruit ice, mixed ice, to appetizing cold desserts.
Among the various types of fruit commonly used, longan, or commonly known as kelengkeng, holds a special place. This small fruit with its natural sweetness is often used as an accompaniment to various drinks and desserts that are perfect for breaking the fast.
Getting to Know Longan Fruit
Longan is a tropical fruit that is quite popular in various Asian countries. This fruit is small with a light brown skin and transparent white flesh with a black seed in the center. Its appearance resembles an eye, which is why it is also known as dragon eye fruit.
In terms of taste, longan has a mild sweetness with a fresh aroma. Its texture is juicy yet chewy when bitten into, making it ideal for use in various dishes, both beverages and desserts.
Due to its light and refreshing taste, longan is often used in various dishes such as fruit ice and mixed ice, jelly or pudding desserts, fruit salads, fresh beverages, and cake and dessert toppings.
However, fresh longan has a relatively short shelf life. Therefore, many people opt for processed forms that are more convenient to use.
What is Longan in Syrup?
Longan in syrup is longan fruit that has been peeled and pitted, then preserved in a light syrup solution. This process allows the fruit to retain its fresh sweet taste while extending its shelf life.
In this form, longan is much more practical to use because it is ready to eat without the need for additional processes such as peeling or pitting.
Some of the advantages of longan in syrup include:
- Practical and ready to use
- Consistently fresh sweet taste
- The fruit texture remains soft
- Easy to store for longer periods of time
This is what makes longan in syrup widely used not only in households, but also in various culinary businesses such as cafes, restaurants, and bakeries.
Perfect for Iftar Menus
During Ramadan, iftar menus are usually dominated by refreshing foods and drinks. Fruits are often the go-to choice because they are light and help restore energy after fasting.
Longan in syrup can be a perfect ingredient for various iftar menus, such as Fresh Fruit Ice, Mixed Ice, or Dessert Cocktail, and Fruit Drinks.
In addition to being practical, using longan in syrup also helps reduce preparation time, especially when preparing meals for family or guests.
