Lychee pronounced Lie Chee (as in Cheese) is a strange little Asian fruit. It has the texture of a rubbery grape, but tastes like a mixture between a grape, apple, and pear (mostly pear). It isn't too sweet, but Boyd and I think it is rather tasty. We normally eat it in Jello form with lychee pieces, but the other week we found fresh lychee at the store! They called it lychee nuts, but what do they know! Boyd took this awesome picture of what it looks like.
The left is what it looks like on the outside. The shell is hard and rough. The middle picture is the fruit. You are supposed to eat the white, translucent, part. The last picture is the seed that you can use to grow your very own lychee tree. Unfortunately you need a warm climate to grow a lychee tree. If it didn't get so cold here in Ohio Boyd and I would have already planted our tree.
