Lychee

About the size of a greengage, lychees have rough, pink, leathery skins surrounding pearly-white, translucent flesh. The skin should be firm and dry without any bruises. Inside, the flesh is sweet, smooth and really juicy, like that of a grape.

Lychee is also found canned or dried. Slightly smaller than an apricot, fresh lychees make great lunch-bag additions, since the rind protects the fruit until you are ready to eat it.
