lychees

Keywords: lychee @Home Cooked

17 lickslick it unlick

From my oldest uncle's sister-in-law's tree. Soooo firm and sweet. I had forgotten how good these can be since the fresh lychees at the market are all imported so they had to be picked before they're ripe.

By luvseafood 1 year ago i hardly see this color at the markets

Your response:

By JoeL 1 year ago I was told that the lychee tree cannot survive the cold in Northern California. Is this tree in S. California?

My mom said lychee is very "yang" type fruit. You may get a nose bleed if you eat too much. Since you have access to a tree-ful of lychees, have you noticed any side effects from eating this fruit?

Longans come out in the same season and they are really good too.

Your response:

By wanderingchopsticks 1 year ago Yup, I'm in SoCal. But that little bunch was all I got. I shared half with my sister so I don't think there's any danger of getting a nose bleed (Although I am susceptible to them.). I've heard the same thing about mangoes too.

I do have a longan tree in my yard but it's not ripe yet. The pomegranates are starting to sweeten though!

how sad.

Your response:

By wanderingchopsticks 1 year ago Aww. You wanna see my dragonfruit pix?

Your response:

By whytaste 1 year ago nice!!! I love firm & sweet lychees!! How about the seeds...small or big??

Your response:

By wanderingchopsticks 1 year ago Mostly small so it was lots of sweet lychee.

Your response:

By whytaste 1 year ago good!!! I like small seeds & sweet lychee!!! ;P
I like lychee for these 2 types....
Sweet Osmanthus Flavor (gua mei, 桂味)
Glutinous Rice Ball (nuomici, 糯米糍)

Your response:

By Hugh 1 year ago Look at the white meat on that one lychee. It looks like it's bulging out of its skin.

Your response:

By pekinese 1 year ago nice shots!!!

Your response:

By allmosdef 1 year ago Are these from California? You can grow them in Cali? If so, why do we import them?

Your response:

By wanderingchopsticks 1 year ago Yup, they're from my oldest uncle's sister-in-law's tree. I only got a small bunch since my uncle then doled out what he got amongst his family. As to why they're not grown commercially here, you'd have to ask a farmer for that. They're tons better than the imported ones, which have little color or taste in comparison.

Your response:

By mamaGrub 1 year ago I'm the same here WHYTASTE!
