A brief introductionThe Lychee is native to southern China, where it has been cultivated for over 2000 years. Lychees were introduced into Australia in the 1870s by Chinese goldfield workers.The fruit is about 3cm in diameter. It has a red brittle shell, with white translucent flesh and a single large seed. The flesh is sweet, sticky and juicy. Wrap lychees in paper towel and place in a bowl - humid conditions are excellent for storing lychees. Otherwise, lychees can be stored in the fridge for 5-7 days, wrapped in plastic. |
