荔枝是什么 · 吃的是假种皮

Lychee is an evergreen tree native to southern China, a close relative of longan, both in the soapberry family. China is the world's largest producer and consumer; Feizixiao, Guiwei and Nuomici are famous cultivars.

A botanical fact often missed: the white flesh we eat is not the peel but the aril — a fleshy outgrowth enveloping the seed. The seed (pit) is large, and the aril is the truly nutritious part.

Ripe lychees are intensely sweet and aromatic, but unripe lychees are a different thing: the key mechanism of this whole story (lychee encephalopathy) hides in unripe fruit, covered in special-knowledge.

It is a classic tropical fruit: watery, sugary, high in vitamin C, nearly fat-free. Later scenes quantify per 100 g edible portion.
