"Long kong," also known by its scientific name Lansium parasiticum, is a tree from the Mahogany family that bears small, edible fruits. Originating in Southeast Asia, it is cultivated in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sumatra, and the Nilgiri hills of Southern India. The fruit, which grows in clusters, has an outer appearance similar to a potato, while the inside contains a white, juicy, and translucent flesh with inedible, bitter seeds. Its flavor is a refreshing and exotic combination of tangy, sour, and sweet, often compared to grapes or pomelo. Long kong is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, dietary fiber, and vitamins, including Vitamin A, thiamine, and riboflavin.
