Lychee: A delicious and useful fruit

Also known as the "Chinese cherry," lychee is an exotic fruit that has gained popularity in recent years, especially on Italian tables. Its sweet, aromatic flavor makes it highly prized not only for its taste but also for its many nutritional benefits .

Lychee is rich in vitamin C , aids digestion and helps stimulate bowel movements , making it an excellent natural remedy for those seeking gentle digestive support.

Properties Lychee

The Asian lychee is a small fruit with a rough, reddish-pink outer skin and white, juicy, fragrant flesh . It is usually available in winter , when it is imported to Europe from the producing countries.

Despite its sweetness, lychee is low in calories – about 60 kcal per 100 grams – and is packed with important nutrients.

High vitamin C

One of the lychee's greatest strengths is its impressive vitamin C content , which is even higher than that of oranges . This essential vitamin:

  • Strengthening the immune system

  • Improves iron absorption

  • Fight against free radicals thanks to its antioxidant properties

Consuming lychees during the winter months is a great natural way to support your body's immune system .

Eidive Help

Lychees are also known for their beneficial effects on the digestive system . Their flesh contains fiber and natural compounds that stimulate the production of digestive enzymes , facilitating nutrient absorption and reducing bloating after meals.

This makes lychee an ideal fruit to enjoy after lunch or dinner , as a light, healthy alternative to more elaborate desserts.

Natural laxative effect

One of the most well-known properties of lychee is its ability to promote bowel regularity . Thanks to its high water and fiber content, it has a natural laxative effect and helps:

  • Prevent or relieve constipation

  • Improvement of intestinal transit

It is an excellent choice for those looking for natural remedies to support digestion and intestinal health .
