‘The Lychees’ or as they are affectionately known by many suffering from social ineptness, ‘litchi chinensis’, are like jacked grapes donning maroon biker jackets!
Originally hailing from southern China ‘The Lychees’ now have peeps in other parts of Asia and the Caribbean. That’s just gangster!
Underneath the easy to remove shell is a fruit wrapped around a hard brown stone in the centre.
The texture of the fruit is very similar to grapes but with a really distinct and very addictive sweet taste.
The price you pay? Sticky fingers, but it’s so worth it!
Here’s some of the whys:
Tastes Amazing
To corrupt a well known saying, “once you pop, you’ll be hooked like a crazed fruit junkie and it'll be difficult to stop.”
Great For Healthy Weight Loss
They’re low in calories, contain none of that pesky saturated fat or cheeky cholesterol but have a good amount of dietary fibre.
Improves Blood Circulation
Thanks to the presence of a natural chemical called oligonol found in it.
Anti-viral & Anti-inflammatory
It’s down to that oligonol again and a high vitamin C content.
Promotes A Healthy Immune & Nervous System
As a great source of vitamin B as well, ‘The Lychees’ make sure the body's command centre is functioning optimally by breaking down and directing the goodies in food to the right places.
Bloody Good For The Blood
The Lychees prominent minerals are potassium and copper. Potassium helps support blood pressure and good heart function whilst copper is needed for healthy red blood cells.
