I love these fruits. Lychees are in season right now and they are impossible to resist. I like them better than longan and also better than rambutans. When ripe and in season, lychees are so plump and juicy they seem ready to burst at the merest provocation. The best are the ones with very thin skin and small seeds.
The ones in the markets now are firm but also springy to the touch, because they have so much juice.
