Lynchee - Hohng-Hooway Variety
GROW YOUR OWN - BUY SEEDS HERE
Thailand Exotic fruit - simply-thai.com - thai Market - Lynchee - Hohng-Hooway Variety - Prime grade fresh lychees are large in size with a thicker bright red skin. Lychees with thick, succulent flesh surrounding a relatively small seed, such as in the "Hong Huai" and "Chakrapat" (Emperor lychees), are considered to be the best quality. These are predominantly sweet. However for those who prefer flavourful lychees with a sharper taste, look out for oval-shaped lychees with brittle skin. These are sweet and slightly sour. There was a time when this famous delicacy was mostly imported from China and thus sold at very high prices. Today, however, many Lychee orchards have been established in northern Thailand and local prices, while still above those of most other fruits, are not exorbitant. Several varieties of the fruit characterized by a sweet taste with a faint trace of tartness are currently grown, ranging from pinkish to dark red in colour.
