How to choose Feizixiao lychees

The Concubine Smile lychee is a very good fruit. In ancient times, concubines were famous for their efficiency. Legend has it that Yang Guifei asked her emperor to buy it for her to eat, and it made her very tired. The Concubine Smile lychee is rich in mineral elements and can beautify and nourish the skin. No wonder Yang Guifei wanted to eat it. Back to the topic, the price of Feizishao lychees is very expensive, so we should buy them with caution. So, how should we choose Feizishao lychees?

1. Observe the color: Generally, fresh lychees are not bright red. Most of them have some red and some green on the skin. Or it may be red with a little white. If the color is dark red, it is generally fresh. If the skin is black or brown, it is generally bad.

2. Smell: Generally, fresh lychees just picked have a light fragrance. If they don’t smell at all, they are probably not ripe yet. If they have a strange smell, such as alcohol or sourness, it means that the lychees are already bad.

3. Press and pinch with your hands: When selecting lychees, we can press or pinch them gently with our hands. If they feel elastic and a little hard, such lychees are generally fresh. Some lychees that are inelastic and soft when pinched are generally ripe or rotten. Also, don't squeeze too hard when picking, otherwise the lychee shop owner will scold you.

4. Taste the flesh first: Generally, when buying lychees, you will be allowed to try one first. We can try one or two before buying, because generally, they are purchased in batches. If the lychee flesh is white and crystal clear, it is relatively sweet. We can choose more.

5. Look at the size of the head: If the head of the lychee is relatively pointed and the nails on the skin are relatively dense, such lychees are generally not ripe enough. If the cracks are relatively thin and dense, such lychees are also not ripe enough. Generally, the lychees with larger and regular nails on the skin are sweet and fresh.

6. Thick flesh and small core: Most of the time, we like to eat lychees with thick flesh and small core. When choosing, we should look for lychees with obvious cracks and relatively pointed ones, as these have small cores.
