The characteristics of lychee

Native to Asia, the lychee is a small berry with a rough, reddish-pink skin and white, juicy, and fragrant flesh. Its main season is winter, when it is imported into Europe from producing countries. It is a low-calorie fruit, providing about 60 kcal per 100 grams, yet rich in valuable nutrients.

Rich in vitamin C

One of the strengths of lychees is their high  vitamin C content , even higher than that of oranges. This vitamin helps strengthen the immune system, promotes iron absorption, and fights free radicals thanks to its antioxidant action. Consuming lychees during the winter months is therefore a natural way to support the body's defenses.
