Lychee Exotic Tropical Fruit!

Jake surprised us again one evening by bringing home another exotic tropical fruit for us to try.  One of his co-workers brought this fruit to work.  This time we tried the Lychee which is an exotic tropical fruit from Asia.  The fruit is covered in a leathery skin with a bumpy texture.  The skin was a  brown, green, and pink color.  It was about 1 inch big and shaped like a rounded heart.

The inside of the fruit is a translucent white.  It is sweet, juicy, and delicious!  The tastes is like a cross between a grape and pear.  Lychee’s texture is similar to an inside of a grape.  The fruit contains vitamin C and other healthy nutrients.  In the middle of the fruit is a dark brown oval seed.  If you haven’t tried the lychee before I recommend trying it at least once.  We thought it was tasty!  You can usually find them at your local Asian grocery store.
