Lychee Fruit

Store unpeeled lychees in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. They lose their freshness and flavor quickly at room temperature. Peeled and deseeded lychees can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.

To peel lychees, gently pinch the skin near the stem end and pull it away. The flesh should separate easily.

The flesh can be eaten fresh, added to fruit salads, or used in desserts like sorbets, cakes, and custards.

Lychee juice is excellent for cocktails, mocktails, and marinades.

Consider using canned lychees if fresh ones are unavailable, though the flavor will be less vibrant.
