Lychee is a tropical fruit native to China, but now grown in many parts of the world. It has a rough, reddish-brown exterior that is easily peeled to reveal a sweet and juicy white flesh inside.
The taste of lychee is sweet, floral, and slightly tart, with a texture that is similar to that of a grape. Its flavor is often compared to that of a combination of grape, pear, and watermelon, with a distinctive aroma that adds to its appeal. The flesh of the fruit is soft and succulent, with a seed in the center that is not typically eaten.
