- Watch the skin - The fruit is ready to pick when the skin turns from green to light brown or golden brown and looks smooth and shiny.
- Gently check the texture - Ripe longans feel slightly soft and give off a mild, sweet aroma. Avoid overripe fruits as they may fall off or attract insects.
- Use scissors or a sharp knife - Cut fruit by the stem or in small clusters to keep both the fruit and the tree branches intact.
- Harvest during cool hours - Pick in the early morning or late afternoon to help preserve freshness and sweetness.
- Post-harvest storage - Eat fresh within 1–2 days, or store in the refrigerator to maintain the juicy, crisp texture.
