Fresh Lychee

Canned lychees in syrup are very popular during Chinese New Year because many people like to eat it with ice cubes as a dessert. Fresh lychees on the other hand, are not that popular because some people say that after eating fresh lychees, they are prone to sore throat and cough. I wonder whether this is true or not. I just find fresh lychees to be very sweet.

      The canned ones are soaked in syrup for a long time so maybe that is why will not cause sore throat and cough.

    i like both canned and fresh lycees, regardless of those negative remarks (about heatiness, cough, sore throat etc)...

      I assume you don't get those when you eat them, right?

    I prefer fresh lychee, more juicy and natural sweetness.

      Surprisingly after soaking in syrup, they don't seem to cause sore throat.

    Who cares about heatiness and sore throat? It is just same as durians. For me, I don't like fresh lychee because they are difficult to eat, have to bite off the flesh from the seed, and sometimes the skin of the seed sticks to the flesh, don't like that skin's texture :-/

      I don't find that the skin comes off like some rambutans. Hahaha, if you have a bad case of sore throat, you will care because it is very uncomfortable.

    I heard that the sore throat and cough could be due to pesticide residue on the lychee skin. Don't know true or not.

    I thought people didn't eat fresh lychees much because they are seasonal and very expensive compared to canned. I never knew fresh lychees tasted so nice until I ate the very big ones sold in China and was cheap.
