WOOHOO It's Lychee season in Hawaii



I walked into the health food store today an saw lychees! They only fruit in June (and sometimes July). We bought a small Lychee tree at the Arbor day plant sale. So hopefully in a few years we can harvest this amazing fruit!


Lychee is about the size of a walnut. It has a tough skin that you crack open with your teeth and then peel off. The fruit inside is white, with the consistency of a peeled grape, and tastes SUPER sweet like strawberry perfume. The pit is small, shiny, smooth, and looks like a swollen watermelon seed.
