Read all about the lychee here on my website: inthekitchenwithmatt.com/lych...
In this episode of In The Kitchen With Matt, I will show you how to eat lychee fruit. What does lychee or lichi taste like? I also do a taste test. I love lychee, I ate them quite a bit several years ago when I lived in the Philippines. They are super easy to eat, and taste amazing. I love showcasing interesting and different fruits here on my channel once in awhile, and lychee definitely fit that description.

I'm from the UK and just saw them in my local supermarket and thought I'd try them. Only clicked this video because I didn't know how to eat them. Gotta say, really tasty

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

Awesome, JT. Glad you tried it and liked it! And thanks for watching the video.

These are delectable. I've been getting them from a small greengrocer the past few weeks. I decided to drastically cut down my consumption of cakes, chocolate etc. Who needs them with a fruit this delicious. Thanks for the video.

Lychee to me, tastes like pure sunshine and happiness. The high note is so hard to describe. Takes me back to east Asia. I think this is my favorite food besides cherries.

I live in Florida and have 2 Lychee trees. I love the taste but the season is very short. During May the fruit is growing and then, all of a sudden there are huge numbers turning bright red and ready for harvest the first week in June. Depending on the part of the tree, the fruit will be ready over the next 10 days or so, and then its over. You have to catch picking them at just the right time - too early and the fruit is a little sharp with big pits - too late and they are over ripe. When you get them just right, they are wonderful. The best ones have shriveled pits with lots of fruit. Over ~ a two week period you go from having an overwhelming amount to none at all. They can be frozen, so that it a good way to extend enjoying this fruit.

@inthekitchenwithmatt Месяц назад

Yeah they are awesome! So good!

@craigbarretto7691 3 года назад

Our family had lychee trees on our property in HI. We would look forward to picking them when they were reddish brown and in a large bunch. The biggest bunches tend to be closer to the top of the tree, so a few close calls climbing as kids. As the tree gets old, it gets less fruit until it doesn’t anymore. Other tropical fruit trees we enjoyed were star fruits and mountain-apples. 👍🏽

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

That is awesome, Craig!! I did a star fruit video too as well. I love star fruit! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMv0kM6jMNU.html

Sometimes I’ve seen them sold green usually and some of red but it’s because they pick them unripe from the tree but then they just turn red or even brownish color. The green ones don’t taste very good but the red ones are definitely the best

@kwanben8000 Год назад

There are many kinds of Lychees (over 10 kinds). The taste and price difference of different kinds can be huge. You can come to Hong Kong and go to Mongkok market to buy some available kinds to see the differences. Lychee is very cheap in HK. When you have tasted all kinds of Lychees available in the HK market, you will know why the prices are hugely different. Then you will not buy the cheap one (should learn to recognise the appearances and names of different kinds). I just read some interesting posts in a Chinese forum these 2 days. People in non-Lychee planting areas are discussing how to distinguish the Lychee types and what the tastes are.

@inthekitchenwithmatt Год назад

Yes there are many varieties of lychee, Bengal, Ha-Kip, Kaimana, Erdon Lee, etc to name a few.

@Benemortasia 6 месяцев назад

Awesome! I can usually find them in season at the local Asian Market, but other than that, I haven't seen them anywhere else.

@andrewzheng4038 11 месяцев назад

They can definitely be a little hard to find if your city doesn’t have a significant Chinese community. That being said, lychees are becoming more and more popular in the US and I’ve seen them crop up in my local Costco (albeit the quality is a little hit-and-miss)

If you can have either lychee or longan as your only tropical fruit, which one would you choose? And why? I have only had them in cans. Will have to try them fresh after watching your videos.

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

I like lychees more than longan, they taste similar, but the lychee just tastes a little better to me. You will just have to try and find them ripe and experience them for yourself, haha, they are both yummy. :)

in china they are like $2 per kilo in summer when they become ripe in massive scale and enter the market😂 so tasty and cheap I can eat one kilo every day.

If I buy the lychees fresh in the Asian grocery store, how do I tell that they are ripe?

@inthekitchenwithmatt 3 года назад

Most lychees are ripe when they are pink or reddish. Once picked they won't continue to ripen, so most of the times the lychees you find at the Asian grocery store will all be fairly ripe and ready to eat.
