At first glance, this is absolutely nothing more than an attractive fruit: small, firm to the touch, odorless. I love when the fruit smells of fruit, then the appetite is stronger and thirsty to try. But even here my curiosity got the better, I still bought myself a little litchi.

Fruit in boxes

How can I choose what I have never eaten? I was standing near the boxes full of lychees, sifting through fruit, trying to intuitively pick delicious and ripe. But, they were all very similar to each other. They differed only in size (slightly larger and slightly smaller), as well as color. Some lychees had a beautiful reddish hue, while others were slightly brownish. I tried to crush one to see what was inside, but it turned out to be quite solid.

How to eat lychee fruit and how it tastes

When I returned home, I pleased my relatives with my find. I asked everyone to get together for a tasting. Everyone looked at this hard, shriveled red nut with some suspicion. But it was only flowers, you should see their reaction when they saw what was inside!

To get to the edible pulp, you should make a cut or a cut with a knife. After that, push the rind to the sides and release the flesh out.

Slightly peel the skin

Pulp litchi to look like a slug. Honest, word, do not overdo it. Or as a piece of the brain. But, from him came a pretty pleasant scent. I was the first to bite exotic litchi. The baby immediately flowed from it, so that I threw it completely into my mouth. Inside was an oblong bone.
