🍒 Lychees — who has tried these?! 😍
I spotted them at Costco and they are SO tasty! A friend introduced them to me years ago at an Asian market and said he grew up eating them — now I see why! 🙌
✨ Nutrition facts (1 cup fresh ~190g):
• ~125 calories
• ~31g carbs
• ~2–3g fiber 🌿
• ~136mg Vitamin C (over 100% daily value!) 🍊
• Small amounts of copper & potassium
💡 Glycemic Index:
Moderate (around 50–60), but they do contain natural sugars (~29g per cup), so portion size matters if you’re watching blood sugar.
❤️ Potential benefits:
• Immune support (thanks to Vitamin C)
• Antioxidants for cellular health
• Some traditional use for digestion support
They’re juicy, floral, and slightly tropical — kind of like a grape met a rose 🌸🍇
Have you tried them fresh? Frozen? In a smoothie? Canned? Fresh is best in my opinion. Canned ones were not tasty. 🍒
