How to choose fresh and delicious lychee
- Fresh and delicious lychee is a fruit that has a pinkish-red color, round shape, looks fresh, and the branch is still tightly attached to the body and not separated.
- When touched, it feels good elasticity, may be slightly soft but not mushy; if it feels too hard, it means it’s not ripe yet.
- Avoid choosing fruits that you smell sour or slightly fermented because that is a sign that the lychee has been stored for too long and is no longer usable.
- In addition, limit choosing lychee on the surface that has dark spots or tiny black dots as these are all spoiled lychees.
What is custard powder? Uses of custard powder
