Choosing the right lychee is essential to ensure a sweet and delicious taste. Here are 5 tips to remember when buying lychees:

1. Don't buy green ones. Choose red lychees as they indicate full ripeness and sweetness. Green lychees are not fully mature and can be sour.

2. Don't buy ones without elasticity. Fresh and high-quality lychees should have a firm texture. If they are too hard, they are not ripe yet. If they are too soft, they might be spoiled.

3. Don't buy ones with a bad smell. Fresh lychees have a delicate fruity aroma that enhances the taste. Avoid lychees with a foul or sour smell, as they may have deteriorated during transportation. Be cautious of those with a medicinal smell, as they may have been sprayed with harmful substances.

4. Don't buy small ones. Choose larger lychees as they have more juicy flesh, making them more enjoyable to eat. Small lychees usually have less flesh and more seeds, resulting in a less satisfying taste.

5. Don't buy damaged ones. Inspect the lychees closely and avoid those with any signs of damage on the skin. Once lychees are damaged, they lose moisture and become susceptible to bacterial growth, affecting the taste.
