Lychee Feast

Lychee Feast

　　Zengcheng is known as the “hometown of lychees,” with its famous Hanging Green lychees renowned worldwide.

　　 As the hometown of lychees, you simply must try the lychee feast here—featuring a variety of cooking methods such as frying, boiling, stir-frying, and deep-frying—all with an incomparably sweet and fresh taste. For example, the pit is scooped out from inside the lychee and filled with specially prepared meat, vegetables, and more. The surface is fresh, fragrant, and sweet lychee flesh, while the inside contains soft fillings. The contrast in textures is striking yet perfectly complementary.

　　 Lychees are rich in glucose, sucrose, vitamins, proteins, and more, offering certain therapeutic effects for conditions such as anemia, palpitations, insomnia, asthma, and hernia pain. In addition to being eaten fresh, lychees can also be dried into lychee preserves, made into lychee wine, or canned and sold both domestically and internationally.

　　 Dried lychees have a sweet and sour flavor with a warm nature, and are beneficial for the heart and kidneys, as well as nourishing liver blood. Lychee wine, on the other hand, can promote saliva production, enhance intelligence, regulate qi, and enrich blood.
