Lychee

Originating from Southeast Asia, this fruit is encased in a thinly layered rind that can be easily peeled away to reveal the delicate translucent-white flesh of the lychee. This fragrantly sweet fruit has an enchantingly perfumed aroma that was once considered a delicacy among the Imperial Court of China. The potent floral scent is lost in the process of canning so it is best to enjoy these little gems fresh.
