๐Ÿ’ Lychees โ€” who has tried these?! ๐Ÿ˜
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 โ€” now I see why! ๐Ÿ™Œ
โœจ Nutrition facts (1 cup fresh ~190g):
โ€ข ~125 calories
โ€ข ~31g carbs
โ€ข ~2โ€“3g fiber ๐ŸŒฟ
โ€ข ~136mg Vitamin C (over 100% daily value!) ๐ŸŠ
โ€ข Small amounts of copper & potassium
๐Ÿ’ก Glycemic Index:
Moderate (around 50โ€“60), but they do contain natural sugars (~29g per cup), so portion size matters if youโ€™re watching blood sugar.
โค๏ธ Potential benefits:
โ€ข Immune support (thanks to Vitamin C)
โ€ข Antioxidants for cellular health
โ€ข Some traditional use for digestion support
Theyโ€™re juicy, floral, and slightly tropical โ€” kind of like a grape met a rose ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‡
Have you tried them fresh? Frozen? In a smoothie? Canned? Fresh is best in my opinion. Canned ones were not tasty. ๐Ÿ’
