Lychee juice

Lychee juice is the liquid extracted from the pulp of the lychee fruit, a tropical fruit native to southern China. Its flavor is sweet and slightly floral, with a juicy and refreshing texture that makes it a popular ingredient in beverages, desserts, and some recipes in Asian and tropical cuisine.

The lychee comes from the Litchi chinensis tree, primarily cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions of the world, from Asia to parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. Its juice is valued for its unique flavor and its ability to add a fresh and aromatic touch to various culinary preparations.

Properties: Lychee juice is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals like potassium, which helps strengthen the immune system and improve hydration. It also contains natural sugars that provide quick energy, making it an ideal option for recipes seeking a natural sweet flavor without artificial tastes.

In the Hispanic American context, lychee juice may also be found under names like jugo de liche or simply jugo de lychee, although the most common and recognized term is jugo de lichi.

This ingredient is perfect for preparing cocktails, natural juices, sweet sauces, and desserts like jellies or ice cream, providing an exotic and refreshing flavor.
