Lychee
Egyptian lychee is a tight two-month specialty program. Bright red skin, translucent white flesh, intensely sweet and floral flavour. Shelf life is short and the cold chain is unforgiving: pre-cooled to 1 to 2 °C inside hours of harvest, air-freighted under high humidity to retail. Brix 18+, fruit diameter 2 to 5 cm. EU and GCC premium retail and food service buyers book this months in advance.
