Did you know?
Lychee is native to southern China and is often associated with the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.
The name “Lychee” comes from the Cantonese word “lìzhī.”
Lychee is a rich source of antioxidants, including flavonoids, which help fight oxidative stress.
Drawback ⚠️
Lychees are high in natural sugars, so excessive consumption may affect blood sugar levels.
The seeds of lychee can be toxic if consumed in large quantities, so they should be discarded.
Lychees can cause allergic reactions in some people, leading to symptoms like rashes and swelling.
- Canned lychees are often packed in syrup, significantly increasing their sugar content and calories, making them less nutritious than fresh lychees.
