About Litchi Plant
It is a
tropical tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of south eastern
China, where cultivation is documented from the 11th century. China is the main
producer of lychees, followed by India, other countries in Southeast Asia, the
Indian Subcontinent and South Africa. A tall evergreen tree, the lychee bears
small fleshy fruits. The outside of the fruit is pink-red, roughly textured and
inedible, covering sweet flesh eaten in many different dessert dishes.
Lychee seeds
contain methylene cyclopropyl glycine which can cause hypoglycemia associated
with outbreaks of encephalopathy in undernourished Indian and Vietnamese
children who had consumed lychee fruit.
