Have you ever tasted a lychee? A lychee is a fruit with this wonderful sweet goodness! The lychee fruit is around 1 1/2 inches big around with a type of knobbly brownish, thin brittle skin and enclosed is a white juicy inside with a texture close to that of a grape. And in the center of the fruit there is a large dark shiny seed. They have a wonderfully scented aroma and a sweet juicy flavor. The first time I had them was when I was little and we had went on vacation to Thailand. I have not seen them available fresh here so I buy them in the can from just about any International or Asian market.
They can make a refreshing end to any meal. I typically eat them as you would any other fruit as a daily snack. They are excellent in a fruit salad. It is said that they have the second highest level of heart-healthy polyphenols of all fruits tested and could play a roll in the prevention of degenerative diseases such as cancer.
