What are lychee fruits?

Lychee fruits, scientifically known as Litchi chinensis, are small, round to oval-shaped fruits native to the subtropical and tropical regions of Asia. They belong to the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. Lychees are renowned for their sweet and fragrant taste, making them a popular and exotic treat. We didn’t really have tropical fruits in my country as I grew up (ok, maybe bananas), so now I am very keen on trying them all as I find them at the supermarket.

Key characteristics of lychee fruits include:

1. Appearance: Lychees have a rough, textured skin that is typically pinkish-red to reddish-brown when ripe. The skin is inedible and needs to be peeled to access the flesh.
2. Flesh: Once you peel the skin, you’ll find juicy, translucent, and white to pinkish flesh. The flesh surrounds a large, inedible seed. It has a sweet, floral, and slightly tart flavor that is often described as a combination of grapes and strawberries.
3. Size: Lychees are typically small, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
4. Season: Lychees are a seasonal fruit and are usually harvested in late spring to early summer, depending on the region.
5. Nutritional Value: Lychees are a good source of vitamin C and contain small amounts of various vitamins and minerals. They are also relatively low in calories.

Lychees can be enjoyed fresh as a snack or incorporated into a wide range of culinary creations, including desserts, salads, sauces, and beverages. They are a beloved fruit in many Asian cuisines and have gained popularity worldwide for their unique and delightful flavor. And now they are very popular in my list of recipes!
