About Litchis, raw
The lychee is a small tropical fruit hidden inside a rough, red, easily-peeled shell — crack it open and you find translucent, jelly-like white flesh around a single dark stone. Its flavor is famously floral and perfumed, intensely sweet with a hint of rose.
Beneath that exotic taste it's mostly water and natural sugar, which keeps it low in calories, and it's a notably good source of vitamin C, with some copper and potassium. Fresh lychees are a seasonal treat; canned ones are common but come in a sweet syrup that adds sugar.
Refreshing and aromatic, lychees are eaten by the handful in season — best chilled, peeled at the table, and enjoyed for that unmistakable floral sweetness.
