Passionately Raw!

Today I am trying the exotic longkong fruit or duku langsat (Lansium domesticum) for the first time. The fruit grows in clusters just like grapes. It is native to Southeast Asia and is especially Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines where it is used to treat many ailments and diseases.  Longkong is very sweet when ripe. Rich in fiber, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, vitamin C and small amounts of B vitamins. The glycemic index is calculated at ca. 55 which means that the fruit will not spike your blood sugar too aggressively when eaten in moderation. The fruit is perfect on its own but even better in combination with other tropical goodies. You can use it in fruit salads and smoothies. Always best when eaten raw.  Ingredients: 20 or more longkong fruits (1-2 clusters) 2-3 mangoes, chopped meat of one young coconut, chopped  freshly pressed juice of 3 limes lime caviar out of 6-8 finger limes pinch pink Himalayan salt to bring out the flavors  finger...
