Litchi is considered as a queen of all fruits. The beautiful fruits and its white sweet edible aril with so much nutritional value, it deserves the title of queen of the fruits.

FYI: the lychee depicted in your photo is painted red, or under gone severe Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) gas and acid dip treatment. Post a nice photo of a fresh lychee, they are prettier too.
Let me know how I can help.

The message on lichi is very much relevant while the fruit has come to our market. I am writing small articles on lichi for publication in local magagines for the attention of students for science creativity & for adult women to get the smell of nutrition in lichi & for farmers to try for initiating lichi plantation in ones own field & locality. Thanking you much for my knowledge acquiring.
