DESCRIPTION OF THE FRUIT The lychee is a subtropical fruit known for its delicious flavour and sweet juicy aril. It originated in southern China, where it has been cultivated for over 4000 years. The edible portion of the fruit is a white- to cream-colored translucent pulp surrounding a glossy brown seed. The fresh fruit has a sweet, floral flavor. Some compare it to the smell of roses. When dried, it's more like a raisin, with a more intense, acidic sweetness. HEALTH BENEFITS • Lychee fruit contains plant compounds called polyphenols that work as antioxidants. That means they help protect your cells from damage caused by inflammation, stress, aging, and pollution. • You can get close to your full daily recommended amount of vitamin C in one 100-gram serving of fresh lychee fruit, or about 10 fruits. • The vitamin C in this tropical fruit also can help repair and maintain your skin by increasing the production of collagen. • Eating more fruits, including lychees, is a good way to boost weight loss. Lychees are low in calories, contain a lot of water, and give you some fiber, making them particularly good choices.
