All about the amazing lychee fruit...

Lychees are a superfruit that are revered around the world for their unique flavor and amazing health promoting properties. Lychees are a rich source of vitamin C and B complex which help boost the immune system, protect against inflammation, and help the body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Lychee Fruit contains 66 calories per 100g, around that of the common grape. They have no saturated fats or cholesterol, but are composed of a good amount of dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Researchers suggest that oligonol, a low molecular weight polyphenol, is found in abundance in the lychee. Oligonol is thought to have antioxidant and anti-influenza virus actions. It also helps improve blood flow in organs, reduce weight, and protect the skin from harmful UV rays.

Lychee is packed with health benefits that come from the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in the fruit, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, niacin, riboflavin, folate, copper, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and manganese.

The tropical fruit is a significant source of dietary fiber, which is very useful for the digestive system. It is also good for stimulating gastric and digestive juices, so that nutrient absorption is more efficient. The most significant nutrient in the Lychee is Vitamin C, and this fruit has more than 100% of your daily requirement for it. This means your immune system gets a much-needed boost because vitamin C is a major antioxidant component and is known to stimulate the activity of white blood cells.

Lychees do an amazing amount of good for your body and have many health benefits. They can be found fresh between July and October, but can be found any time of the year in the form of juices, jams, jellies, sorbet, and also dried or frozen. Source...
