Longans is 0g of sugar, wrapped in 1.1g of fiber per 100g. That's what makes it not soda.

The fiber slows absorption; the sugar is not "free sugar" the way added sugar is. Whole fruit and juice are different foods nutritionally, even at the same sugar number.

The chef's caveat

Ripeness matters

A greener longans has more starch and less sugar; a spotty one is the reverse. Total calories barely move, but if you are tracking blood sugar or fiber-vs-sugar ratio, ripeness is a real variable — not a rounding error.

Common questions

The stuff people actually ask.

How many calories in fruit without refuse of longans?
About 2 calories, with roughly 0g of protein. fruit without refuse weighs about 3.2g. Use the slider above for any other portion.
Does a ripe longans have more calories?

Is longans actually healthy, or is that marketing?
By the numbers on this page: fiber, vitamin C, potassium; sugar comes with its brake pedal (fiber).
