Litchi (Lichu-লিচু)

Litchi, also spelled lychee, is a tropical fruit renowned for its sweet, aromatic flavor and juicy texture. Native to China, litchis have become popular worldwide, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. The fruit is small and round, roughly the size of a walnut, and encased in a rough, reddish-brown rind that is easily peeled away to reveal the translucent, pearly-white flesh inside. 
The flesh of the litchi is juicy and slightly firm, with a flavor that is a delightful mix of floral sweetness and a hint of tartness. At the center of the fruit lies a single, glossy brown seed that is inedible. 
Litchis are typically enjoyed fresh, either on their own or in fruit salads, desserts, and beverages. They are also used to flavor a variety of culinary creations, from sorbets and ice creams to cocktails and sweet sauces. 
Nutritionally, litchis are a good source of vitamin C, providing a significant boost to the immune system. They also contain vitamins B6 and E, potassium, and dietary fiber, contributing to overall health and wellness.
With their unique flavor, refreshing juiciness, and numerous health benefits, litchis are a delightful and nutritious addition to any diet, celebrated in both traditional and contemporary cuisine around the world.
