How many varieties of lychee are there?

1. March Red. We can usually buy this variety of lychees in April, which is the end of March in the lunar calendar. The March Red fruit is shaped like a heart, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Its flesh is relatively thick and tastes sour and sweet, but there will be some residue after eating.

2. Feizixiao, Feizixiao has round or oval shapes, and its fruit is very beautiful and neat. Its skin is a bit dark green, and some of its flesh is also green. However, Feizixiao tastes very refreshing, making people want to eat more. This is probably why Yang Yuhuan loved to eat lychees so much. This variety is also quite famous among lychees.

3. Glutinous Rice Cake. Glutinous Rice Cake can only be seen in Guangdong. It is a variety unique to Guangdong. It has the same heart shape as the March Red, but its fruit stalk is generally tilted. This variety of lychee tastes sticky and sweet, with a lot of flesh and small core. It is also a variety that is more popular among people, which is why it is called Glutinous Rice Cake.

Which type of lychee is more delicious?

First place: Nuomici. This kind of lychee is just like its name, soft and sticky, unlike the lychees we are familiar with with hard skin. This kind of lychee is produced in Shenzhen and has a relatively soft shell.

Second place: Gualü. Gualü is named after the green mark in the middle of the fruit. Gualü has a particularly crisp texture, is sweet and has a slight fragrance, is of excellent quality, and is one of the best varieties of lychees. The fruit is relatively durable in storage. The shell is red with green, four parts slightly green and six parts red. Each lychee is surrounded by a circle of green lines. The flesh is white and crystal clear, sweet and refreshing, and has a lingering fragrance on the teeth, with a unique flavor.

Third place: Concubine's Smile. "A horse gallops through the dusty world and Concubine's smile comes. No one knows that it is the lychee." This is the lychee that Yang Yuhuan likes very much. This variety is one of the earlier-ripening lychees and is now ripe. The fruit is large, thick and beautiful in color. Take a bite and you can feel the juice of the lychee flowing between your lips and teeth, just like the spring water in the mountain stream, smooth and sweet.

Fourth place: Zhuangyuanhong. Zhuangyuanhong is distributed in a relatively small area, so the yield is low and the price is high. The peel of this lychee is thicker, and the dark red suture line does not look very obvious. The flesh is very white and pure wax color, crisp and juicy. You must wait until the lychees are fully ripe before eating them, and the taste will be sweeter. Zhuangyuanhong usually matures in mid-to-late June and will soon be available in large quantities. Friends who like it must buy it and try it.

Fifth place: Guiwei. Guiwei lychee got its name because of its sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. Some people say: "If you don't eat Guiwei lychee, you have come to this world in vain." Guiwei can be said to be the best among many varieties of lychee. The flesh is full and the juice is sweet. Every time you put a lychee in your mouth, you will feel that the lychee is exploding in your mouth. The whole lychee tastes not sour at all, but sweet. Only after eating Guiwei, you will feel that the ordinary lychees you have eaten before are not worth mentioning.
