How to choose good ingredients
How to choose ripe, sweet lychee
- Choose fruits with pink or red skin, looking fresh. Observe the spines on the fruit’s skin; if smooth, it means the lychee is ripe, while if there are many sharp spines, the lychee may not be ripe yet.
- Gently squeeze the lychee; it should feel soft but have some bounce, not mushy. At the same time, when peeling, the flesh should come off easily, indicating good quality lychee.
- Ripe lychee will have a light fragrance, not a fermented smell or any unusual odor.
- Avoid buying fruits with dry, wilted skin or those that are cracked, bruised, have a sour smell, and feel mushy when pressed.
