Longan - noun.
A longan, also called a dragon's eye is both the name of a tree and the edible fruit produced by that tree. The trees thrive in mainland China, Vietnam, and Taiwan. The name is derived from lùhng-ngáahn, which literally means "dragon's eye" in Cantonese. Once the fruit is peeled, the inside flesh looks somewhat like an eyeball.
