lychees
Bumpy red fruit
Lychees are the plural of lychee, a small tropical fruit native to southern China.
The fruit has a rough, reddish-pink shell that peels away to reveal translucent white flesh surrounding a single seed.
The flavor is sweet and floral, sometimes compared to grapes or roses.
Lychees are eaten fresh, canned, or dried: We split a bowl of lychees for dessert.
