How to choose a good litchi
Normally mature litchi is green and red with irregular color distribution. If the whole body turns red and some convex points on the shell turn black, it may have been treated with 'fresh water'. Note that lychees sold in large supermarkets are usually mixed with ice or placed in refrigerators, which is conducive to preservation, while lychees without low-temperature preservation measures are better to buy less. A good litchi naturally emits a relatively sweet fruit flavor. If the litchi emits the smell of chemicals, it means that the litchi has been soaked in chemical reagents and should not be purchased.
As the saying goes' three fires for one litchi ', how to eat litchi is not easy to catch fire? Soak litchi in salt water for about an hour and a half, and then eat litchi, which will have a certain degree of fire reducing effect. When eating litchi, you should eat the white fruit film on the surface of litchi together. The fruit film is a little bitter, but this way of eating can effectively prevent fire. The most important thing is to control the amount of lychee. Adults should not eat more than 10 lychees each time. Children should eat 3-4 lychees each time.
