3 Properties of longan (kelengkeng) fruit

**1. Strengthening bones**
A study published in 2013 in "Maturitas" reported that menopausal women who had lower minerals such as copper were significantly more likely to develop osteoporosis with increasing age. Adults must consume around 900 micrograms of copper every day and 3.5 ounces of fresh longan supply provides 19% of this recommendation. Dried longan is a better source. One 3.5-ounce portion of dried longan has 807 micrograms of minerals, almost 90 percent of the RDA.
**2. Sufficient Iron Needs**
Vegetarians tend to experience iron deficiency compared to those who eat meat. This is because the iron provided by plant foods is not easily absorbed like iron from animal products, for example in the benefits of beef. Pregnant women, athletes and teenage girls may need more iron. Dried longan can help increase iron intake. Each 3.5-ounce longan contains about 5 milligrams, or about 62 percent of daily iron requirements.

**3. Increase Vitamin C**
Lack of vitamin C intake, is likely to easily develop high blood pressure, heart disease, age-related macular degeneration and certain types of cancer. Raw longan is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is around 84 milligrams from 3.5 ounces. This amount supplies 93% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C in men which is 90 milligrams and more than 100 percent of the needs of 75 milligrams a day for women.
