Lanzone Fruit (Langsat) – Buy Online in the UK

Fresh lanzone fruit, also known as langsat, is now available in the UK — a Southeast Asian delicacy with sweet, juicy flavour and irresistible tropical appeal.

What is Lanzone (Langsat) Fruit?

Lanzone (Lansium parasiticum), often called langsat or longkong, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. The fruit grows in clusters, resembling small, pale-yellow grapes with a thin skin that peels away easily.

Inside, the flesh is translucent, segmented like a lychee, and bursting with flavour. Its taste is sweet, tangy, and slightly citrusy — often described as a mix between a grapefruit and a lychee, but milder and refreshing.

Lanzones are celebrated during local harvest festivals, especially in the Philippines, where they are regarded as a seasonal favourite. Now, exotic fruit lovers in the UK can enjoy this rare delicacy delivered fresh.
