Lychee
This small fruit packs a punch of sweet, fragrant flavor. Much like a rambutan, lychees have a unique outer “shell” with an opaque, almost grape-like white flesh that bears a seed. Also known as “alligator strawberry” for its spiked skin, young Lychees are green and once mature, they will become blushed with pink, then bright red. The taste is acidic and sweet with floral notes, comparable to a grape. Lychee is related to the longan fruit, but the difference lies in the flavor as lychee is much sweeter in comparison.
