After being stuck in the tropics, lychee were able to travel to most of the world.The canned fruit can be eaten right out of the container.A fresh lychee fruit tastes better than canned cousins, and only takes a few seconds to prepare.
Step 1: You can choose a fruit.
A firm fruit will give a little when squeezed.A smooth skin is a good sign.Hard, unripe fruits don't have as strong a taste.A wet, soft fruit may be overripe and ferment or rotted.Almost always, the peels are rotted.Most varieties are red, orange, or yellow when ripe.Brown fruits are usually bad.
Step 2: The end of the fruit needs to be removed.
The skin at one end of the stem is pink or brown.The flesh of the fruit is translucent.If you want to catch the dripping juice, you should peel the fruit over the bowl.The skin will be harder to peel if the lychee is left out.You can cut a slit with your fingernails, teeth, or knife.It will be easier to peel the fruit if it is soaked.The flesh may be completely transparent or yellow-brown.
Step 3: Remove the skin.
The soft skin of a perfectly ripe lychee makes it easy to separate from the flesh.The flesh of the fruits can be popped out by squeezing them.Use your fingers to tear off the skin if this doesn't work.The skin isn't good.Either throw it away or compost it.
Step 4: Take out the seed.
There is a seed in the fruit.Pick out the glossy brown seed and discard the flesh.The seed is not safe to eat.
Step 5: The fruit should be eaten.
The fresh lychees have a signature scent that can't be found in canned products.Enjoy it raw, or read more about the uses of this fruit.The seed was found on the inside of the flesh.This should be eaten with the rest of the lychee.It doesn't affect the flavor.A lot of the tasty juice is squeezed out by removing it.
Step 6: Store more fruit.
A container with the lid left ajar can be used to store lychee.The rind may turn brown and hard, but they can last up to a week.If the fruit turns grey, throw it away.You can freeze the rest if you can't eat them all within that time.If you want to peel and eat the lychee, run warm water over it for 15 seconds.The texture of partially thawed lychee is similar to that of sorbet.
Step 7: Add fruit to a salad.
It's obvious that this is the best option for summer.You can add them at the last minute.
Step 8: Stuff the fruit.
Remove the seed from the fruit without tearing it.Cream cheese or chenna can be made with nuts, honey, and/or ginger.Put your thumb in the lychee and fill it with a spoon or chopsticks.A chicken stir fry is a good way to stuff the lychee.The lychees should be broiled for 2–3 minutes after stuffing.
Step 9: It's a good idea to add some flair to your cocktails.
Add a skewered, pitted lychee fruit to a light cocktail.Try the novelty Mad Eye martini.
Step 10: If you want a salsa, chop it up.
There is a bold flavor to spicy or sour salsas with the addition of soft, sweet lychee.You can make a simple salsa withavocado, lychee, and red onion.
Step 11: There are hot dishes that you can cook with lychee.
Just a few minutes before the dish is done, add the lychee to a stir fry or roasting pan.It pairs well with cinnamon, ginger, or honey.
