Lychees have rosy red skin and white, semi-translucent flesh which is tangy and juicy. They have 1 large, brown, smooth, glossy seed.
You should look for fresh looking, firm skin which should have some stem attached. Further ripen is not required after harvesting. Refrigerate us in a plastic bag or container. Use within 7 days.
Lychees are a useful source of vitamin C and dietary fibre.
