AboutLeírás
Lychees ( LIE-chee, US also LEE-chee) are the fruit of the tree Litchi chinensis, the sole member of the genus Litchi, part of the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. They are edible, with a sweet, mildly tart flavor, and have a distinctive floral aroma often described as rose-like. There are three distinct subspecies of lychee. The most common is the Indochinese lychee, found in South China, Malaysia, and northern Vietnam. The other two are the Philippine lychee (locally called alupag or matamata), found only in the Philippines, and the Javanese lychee, cultivated in Indonesia and Malaysia. The tree has been introduced throughout Southeast and South Asia. Cultivation in China has been documented since the 11th century. China is the main producer of lychees, followed by India, Vietnam, other countries in Southeast Asia, other countries in South Asia, Madagascar, and South Africa. A tall evergreen tree, it bears small fleshy sweet fruits. The outside of the fruit is a pink-red, rough-textured soft shell. Lychee seeds contain methylene cyclopropyl glycine, which has caused hypoglycemia associated with outbreaks of encephalopathy in undernourished Indian and Vietnamese children who consumed lychee fruit.
