🛍 Product Information (Main)：
Langsat is a ripe fruit on the tree and should be made in autumn. It is also known as lanzones, commonly known as Love Fruit, and Thai Wampee. It is native to the Malay Islands in Southeast Asia. It is said that even the Thai princess likes to eat it. It looks like a bunch of large longans. The peel is very thin and can be easily torn open with your fingers. The flesh is translucent white and has petals. The method of eating it is the same as eating longan. Reed mushroom is a top-quality fruit in Southeast Asia. It tastes sweet, soft and juicy. Some people even say that it has the fragrance of grapefruit.
Supply Period： Supply in Sep to Nov.
🔅 Notes：
What Hong Kong calls “蘆菇” (lo4 gu1) is not only Duku or only Langsat.
It is the local name for the whole fruit group langsat / duku, scientific name Lansium domesticum (also Lansium parasiticum), family Meliaceae. Duku and Langsat are the two main types within that species. Wikipedia notes that Taiwan calls it 蘭撒, while Hong Kong calls it 蘆菇, also sold as “Thai wampee” or “dragon-palace fruit.” It is not related to mushrooms, and it is not the same family as Chinese wampee.
The dense, thin-skinned clusters most often seen in Hong Kong markets are closer to Langsat or Longkong.

The larger, rounder, thicker-skinned fruit is closer to Duku.
Duku Fruit Information and Facts
Please do you know which fruit (Duku, Langsat) they belongs to ?
| Name |
What it means
|
| Hong Kong “蘆菇” |
Umbrella name for the species |
| Langsat |
Thinner skin, smaller and more oval fruit, longer clusters, sticky white latex, juicier, sweet-sour |
| Duku |
Thicker skin, larger and rounder fruit, shorter clusters, little latex when ripe, thicker flesh, usually sweeter |
|
Longkong (Thai longkong) |
A natural intermediate type; very common in Hong Kong imports |
So: 蘆菇 = the fruit species. Duku and Langsat = two cultivars/types. A bag labelled 蘆菇 in a Hong Kong shop is often Langsat or Thai Longkong, not necessarily thick-skinned Indonesian Duku.
How to tell their difference?
Langsat
- Slimmer tree, darker green leaves
- Long bunches, about 15–25 fruits
- Smaller, more egg-shaped fruit
- Thin skin that leaks white latex when peeled
- Watery, refreshing sweet-sour flesh
- 1–5 seeds; the seed is very bitter
Duku
- Broader crown, brighter green leaves
- Short bunches, about 4–12 fruits
- Larger, rounder fruit, about 3.5–5 cm across
- Thick skin, little or no latex when ripe, easier to peel
- Thicker, more aromatic, usually sweeter flesh
- Fewer, smaller seeds; some fruits are nearly seedless
Longkong / duku-langsat sits between the two: 15–25 fruits per bunch, round to oblong, medium skin, sweet, few seeds. This is the type Thailand exports most, and the type Hong Kong often sells as 龍宮果 or 泰國黃皮.
Names in other places
- Hong Kong: 蘆菇, 泰國黃皮, 龍宮果
- Taiwan: 蘭撒
- Malay / Indonesian: langsat, duku
- Thai: longkong (ลองกอง), langsat (ลางสาด)
- Philippines: lanzones
Some plant lists gloss Chinese 芦菇 as “Duku,” but everyday Hong Kong usage covers the whole group and does not split the two types at the stall.
How to judge they are Langsat or Duku in your hand
- Tight cluster, small fruit, thin skin, sticky fingers after peeling → usually Langsat
- Large round fruit, thick skin, little stickiness, thick sweet flesh → usually Duku
- Clustered, not very thick-skinned, sweet, few seeds, labelled Thailand → usually Longkong
Wash the whole bunch in water and shake it before picking fruit off, because scorpions sometimes hide in the gaps. Do not bite the seed; it is intensely bitter.
If your current 蘆菇 came in a long cluster with thin, slightly sticky skin, treat it as Langsat / Longkong, not classic thick-skinned Duku.
🍎 Preserve fruits
1. Fruits especially with softer skin, if packaged, should be placed in the cold box in the original package;
2. Organic fruits are more prone to spoilage if they have water droplets. Put the fruits in a ventilated place to dry or wipe off the water vapor, then wrap the fruits in slightly damp newspaper and put them in a plastic bag before refrigerating. ;
3. Organic fruits do not use preservatives or special treatments. fruits are generally stored for three to five days in room temperature only, should be kept in fridge. Some fruits e.g. papaya will decompose enzymes, so they should be eaten as soon as possible.
🍏 How to wash fruits
1. Wash fruits before eating to keep them fresh;
2. It is not advisable to soak the fruits for too long, and they should be washed first and then cut to avoid the loss of vitamins;
3. Washing fruits with dilute salt water or Dish Drop can easily remove vegetable insects;
4. Cut fruits with a stainless steel knife to reduce vitamin loss;
5. Vegetable leaves contain a lot of nutrients, so you should avoid shredding, chopping or grinding the leaves;
6. Immediately eat after cutting, to avoid the loss of vitamins due to air oxidation.
