Lychee - Consommation

Taste

Lychee has a very sweet and slightly tangy taste. The flesh is aromatic with a floral scent.

Texture

The lychee is delicate and tender. The flesh is exceptionally juicy.

Conservation

Unpeeled lychees can be stored in the refrigerator drawer for 7 to 10 days. If not refrigerated, they should be consumed within two days of purchase, as the skin hardens and the lychees may start to ferment.

Another option is to remove the skin and core of the lychees and then store them in the freezer, allowing them to be used later.

How to eat

You can easily open the skin with a knife or even your nails to enjoy the flesh. It is important to remove the central core before consuming the flesh.

Lychee can be enjoyed fresh, turned into juice, added to a salad, or used as an ingredient in various desserts.
