Lychee (pronounced “lay-chee”) is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. It has a thin, rough skin that is red or pink when ripe, and a sweet, juicy flesh that is white or pink. Lychees are often eaten fresh, but they can also be used in desserts and other dishes.
Lychees are a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as potassium and fiber. They also contain antioxidants that may help to protect against cancer and other diseases.
