Lychee Premium Red Dragon Each

The Red Dragon lychee is a premium variety, and a step up from standard loose lychees. Larger, more intensely fragrant, and with a thicker, more brilliant red shell that makes them as visually striking as they are delicious. When lychees are at their absolute best, this is the one to reach for.

Lychees are at their best from November through January when tropical harvests peak. The premium Red Dragon variety typically arrives in the heart of this window when quality is at its highest.

Look for deeply red shells that are firm and show no browning or shrivelling. The flesh inside should feel plump when the shell is gently pressed. Once peeled, eat promptly.

Eat them fresh as a snack, add to a fruit salad, float in a cocktail or chilled punch, or serve alongside a coconut dessert. The premium Red Dragon lychee is worth seeking out when it arrives.
