Dragon eye fruit looks a little like leechee to me. Taste similar?

I can’t tell the difference. I have three cans of fruit that look like dragon’s eye: one is called long-something. They’re all from different countries. I’ll go out to the pantry, take a look at them, research, and get back to you on it tonight.

This site explains the difference somewhat. In the photo, the peeled lychee (sp?) looks like an eyeball. The peeled longan looks rather unappetizing, too. I think the longan is the dragon’s eye. I buy them canned in syrup when we travel because we don’t live near an oriental market any more. Third can in pantry was coconut milk. (Brain failing rapidly lol!) I bet you’ll like longans if you like lychees.
