Chinese plum
Another name for lechi is Chinese plum. These fruits are shaped like raspberries or half-full, but covered with a thin dry skin of carmine, yellow or yellow-brown marinade. Place a small brush the size of a fermented sauerkraut in the middle. If the fruit is ripe, the peel can be easily removed from the pulp by using your fingers to scoop out the licorice and aromatic pulp. Liches are added to salads, fish and poultry herbs, as well as desserts. They can be used to make compotes and syrups, and also be added to alcoholic drinks. Dried fruits are generally called pots of lechi, however, you should dry them just like rodzinki. Peeled, seedless fruits can be frozen. After storing at room temperature, it is ready for use after 2-3 days; it retains its freshness in the refrigerator much longer.

Lychee seeds, as well as its unripe fruit, contain hypoglycine and its lower homologue, α-(methylcyclopropyl) glycine, which may cause hypoglycemia associated with outbreaks of encephalopathy in malnourished Indian and Vietnamese children who consumed lychee fruit.

In 1962, lychee seeds were discovered to contain methylenecyclopropylglycine (MCPG), a homologue of hypoglycine A, which caused hypoglycemia in animal studies. Since the late 1990s, there have been outbreaks of encephalopathy affecting children in India and northern Vietnam during the lychee harvest season from May to June.

The ancient Chinese ate lychees as early as the 2nd century BC. e. The third juan of the ancient Chinese “Records of the Western Capital” by Ge Hong tells how Wei Tuo presented Liu Bang with a shark and lizhi as a gift. There is a legend that the Chinese Emperor Wu Di, angered by a failed attempt to introduce this plant native to Southern China into cultivation in Northern China, executed all his gardeners.

Gradually, this plant began to be cultivated in neighboring countries. Lychee is now one of the most popular fruits in Southeast Asia.

The first European mention of lychee dates back to the mid-17th century. Juan Gonzalez de Mendoza, thanks to whom the lychee began to be called the “Chinese plum,” wrote that this fruit “resembles a plum that never burdens the stomach and can be eaten in huge quantities.”

In the birthday riddle in the 18th-century Chinese classic novel “The Dream of the Red Chamber,” the lychee fruit is compared to the body of a monkey: “Monkeys have light bodies // at the tips of the branches.”
