Guangming Lychees

Guangming Lychees

　　Lychees are the fruit of the lychee tree, which belongs to the Sapindaceae family. They are native to southern China and are widely cultivated in provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Sichuan, Taiwan, and Yunnan. The fruits are harvested when ripe between June and July each year. The outer shell is removed to reveal the aril (the edible part of the lychee), which can be consumed fresh or dried for later use. The fruit is heart-shaped or spherical, with a bumpy skin that appears bright red, purplish-red, greenish, or pale greenish-white. The fleshy aril is semi-transparent and jelly-like when fresh, juicy, and sweet in taste. Lychees are rich in sugars, proteins, various vitamins, fats, citric acid, pectin, as well as minerals like phosphorus and iron, making them a fruit that is beneficial to human health.
