The lychee or litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn) is one of the most highly praised fruits in Asia. The flesh or aril of a mature fruit is firm or turgid and has a delicate aromatic flavour. The sweet taste, with a tinge of sourness, is exotic yet easily liked once tried. Its appeal also lies in the attractive colour befitting the Chinese empress.
