The lychee season is here. When I was a child, I only knew how to eat lychees and didn’t pay attention to the varieties. When I grew up, I realized that there are ways to eat lychees~ Let’s talk about the varieties of lychees that I think are delicious.
In my mind, the MVP of the Lychee Festival is none other than "Gui Wei", "Nuomi Ci", and "White Sugar Poppy"!
1. Guiwei
Guiwei is the most popular variety. It is a high-quality variety among lychees and is loved by many lychee fans. This variety of lychee is not only thick and firm, sweet and juicy, but also has a faint scent of osmanthus. The juice will come out when you take a bite. The texture is elastic, firm, crisp and sweet.
Guiwei has a round and compact shape, with prickly skin that even pricks your hands. It looks like a red mini durian and is highly recognizable. Every year when Guiwei enters the market, it is basically invincible, and other varieties are inevitably overshadowed.
2. Nuomi Ci
Nuomi Ci is characterized by its large red-shelled fruit and is a heavyweight guest. If you see a lychee that is flat, heart-shaped, huge in size, bright red in color, and has no obvious thorny skin, then it is Nuomi Ci.
The name Nuomi Ci is really wonderful, and the texture is indeed very glutinous - it has a large core and a small core, so the flesh is thicker, but the meat is smooth, tender and soft, refreshing and juicy, and has a feeling of melting in your mouth. ; The taste is sweet, and the basic product has no sour taste. It is just like glutinous rice marshmallows. It is the best lychee to eat frozen.
3. White Sugar Poppy
White Sugar Poppy can also be regarded as the best among lychees. The white sugar poppy is also called Chinese Red. Its bright red skin and large size are more in line with everyone’s expectations for the appearance of lychees, making it particularly attractive to look at.
Take a bite of the white sugar poppy, and it tastes sweet as the name suggests. There is also a faint aroma of honey when you taste it carefully. The sweetness is just right for most people, the taste is not sour in the throat, and the juice is abundant. It's like eating jelly and I can't stop eating it one by one.
When talking about lychees, one thing that cannot be ignored is Feizixiao. It is known as the most popular type of lychee. It is mostly seen in supermarkets on weekdays. Now that I think about it, the variety of lychees that I ate the most when I was a child is Feizixiao. . At the time, I didn’t know that its product name was Concubine Xiao, but now that I think about it, it’s quite easy to recognize, with green and red alternate colors and uneven colors.
4. Feizixiao
Compared with the above three, Feizixiao is a little bit shy because it tastes a bit sour and a lot of people don’t like it, especially those in the south. . However, the lychees sold in our northern markets are generally not very differentiated in varieties, and most of them are Feizixiao, which is easy to store and transport. After all, other varieties are less common in the market due to low output or inconvenient transportation.
But after eating so many lychees, I think there is nothing wrong with Concubine Xiao being the fourth in the lychee family. Feizixiao’s nickname - Sweet Little Core, vividly describes its characteristics: meaty, small core, sweet and delicious! Although the taste is slightly sour, it is juicy and rich in lychee flavor, and it still tastes very delicious.
Of course, even the same variety of lychees has different origins and different qualities. Different people also have different taste preferences. There is no absolute distinction between high and low. Friends, just choose according to your own taste preferences. .
