L- LycheeLychee is a small round fruit with red scaly skin, sweet juicy pulp, and one large seed. It’s popular in Asia and found in many desserts, drinks, and other dishes. To eat Lychee you peel off the outer skin. It’s delicious. My Japanese Student introduced this fruit to me years ago. I bought the fruit in my local grocery store.
Lychees have been cultivated for thousands of years in China. Today they grow in many regions including India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, and the U.S. Lychee trees have been grown in Florida for more than 100 years. You can also find them in Hawaii and parts of California.
