Not more than a small fist of a child, these fruits oringinally are from china, one of the few beauties that came from china, along with silk.
they look like bulbs on dried thick grass, that are incidently their stems. coming from a colder climate that suits their growth,they grow, as if they are hanging on for some support. heart shaped, they have rough skins. but once ripened, they look like reddish green, to be preciase, dark pink.
a bit costly for an ordinary man's pocket, they almost vying for competition with or old king "hapus amba".
squash or eaten just like that they evoke same pleasures. just peel from the stem, and a translucent fruit, with a seed embeded deep in the heart comes out.
when u pop the fruit flesh in the mouth its sheer ambrosia. a mix of tender coconut "malai" infused with sugar syrup...or honey to be precise....its really devils food...and the experience is so intoxicating that u come to earth when all the lychees get over making u wish for more...
so those are lychees.......blushing pleasures
