Lychee

Health Benefits
Seen as a symbol of romance and love in ancient Chinese legend, lychee actually translates to "gift for a joyful life." Once you try this sweet little delicious fruit, you'll know why! High in vitamin C and flavonoids shown to help prevent breast cancer, lychee is also high in phosphoros, calcium, magnesium and protein. It's also rich in antioxidants, helping prevent age-related macular degeneration and other age-related illness.
Selection
When buying lychee, usually found in Asian markets, look for fruit with a pretty pink skin. Ripe lychee should give just a bit when you touch them, but not too much - if it's too soft, it will be over-ripe.
