Healthy Food - Inside Seeds - Lychee


 Native to China, Lychee grows best in tropical and subtropical regions and has recently been found in many parts of the world. Botanically, it is lychee (Litchi chinensis) of the sugarcane family.

Lychees can reach a height of 20 meters but are generally between 10 and 20 meters tall. Lychee is grown in China, Australia, the United States, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, and parts of India. In Australia, it is becoming increasingly popular as production increases. It is very popular in Southeast Asia, including Pakistan, India, and China.

Historically, the cultivation of lychees specifically for food dates back to 2000 BC. Records show that its spread around the world began in the 18th century.

The lychee is often referred to as the lychee berry, but lychees are better known as drupes, along with peaches and apricots.

Lychee is one of the richest sources of vitamin C in the diet. It is low in fat and contains a large amount of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. It is also an excellent source of carbohydrates.

Many medicinal properties are attributed to lychees.

Many people have reported that eating lychees helps relieve coughs, probably due to its high vitamin C content.

Some reports also indicate that lychees can help treat stomach ulcers when consumed before meals. These reports are based on consumer surveys, not scientific studies.

Regular consumption of lychee would also improve symptoms associated with swollen glands.

The taste of lychee is very sweet and its sweetness and texture are compared to grapes. I have read that in China they make tea from the skin of the lychee and there is also a commercial lychee tea.

Lychees are found in many commercial products, including

  • ·         Lychee syrup - used to flavor foods and also tea.
  • ·         Top lychee juice - commercially available in tetra packs. Fresh lychees can also be used in homemade juices.
  • ·         Canned lychee - available and can be used for salads and cooking.
  • ·         Lychees are also available in syrup form, which can be used as a base for smoothies and other recipes.
  • ·         Dried lychees are very similar to sultanas or raisins.

In areas where fresh lychees are not available, one way to include lychees in the diet is to purchase them.

Adding lychees to homemade juices increases the sweetness and taste, and increases the vitamin C content.
