The skin of the langsat fruit is thin, with soft hair, and has a yellow color. There is latex when broken or torn (compare to Longkong, which does not have the latex). Langsat fruits are oval shaped, smaller than Longkong, about 2. 5 cm wide and 3. 7 cm long. The langsat fruits will not fall by themselves when ripen, unless left for to be over ripe and start to decay. The planters have to either climb up the tree to pluck them or use a long pole with a cutter at the end to cut off the stlak and let it fall to the floor. Unripen langsats are greenish white in colour,and turn yellowish when they begin to ripe. Unfortunately,langsat can not be dried,preserved or prickled. You can only consume it fresh,like most tropical fruits.
