What is the lychee?
Litchi, like most other exotic fruit brought to us from Asia, mostly from Thailand or China. Actually the name of the fruit, and is translated as "Chinese plum". They grow on tall trees because of what many consider their fruit, although in terms of biology, lychee berry all the same.
By the way ...
Correct to say "one lychee" and not "a lich."
What's inside the lychee what it taste like?
- Lychee is covered with rough skin that makes it look like a cone. There is a feeling that the skin is thick and it is difficult to clean, but it is not so;
- Under the skin we see the flesh of white grapes. If you see that the flesh in some place is yellow, it means that it lychee spoiled and it is better to throw away;
- Inside the lychee contains more inedible and a bone from which also need to get rid of;
- Recently, I spoke about how Some cashiers are deceiving customers, Be sure to take a look;
- Taste lychees as well as many exotic fruits is sometimes difficult with something to compare -someone compares it with grapes, some tasteful roses, and someone more like a mint;
- It is worth to know that if the flesh is sugary-sweet taste, this lychee overripe. It should be sweet, but in moderation, and a little astringent;

Should you buy lychee on trial?
From the conversation with the seller, I learned that many asked about the lychee, but are reluctant to buy. In general, I bought myself a little on trial and was satisfied, I liked the taste, and it is necessary not so expensive (I bought at the price of 184 rubles / kg). Of course the sample I bought less than a kilogram.
