Is this because you usually buy tinned fruit? Lychee skin is always pinky red in my experience, it's the fruit when peeled that is white Can't think why you wouldn't buy fruit from Lidl? Pretty sure it will be the same as other places.

Its an exotic fruit. Comparing it to grapes or strawberries does it a huge disservice IMO.

Just buy 1 :smile: & try it!

It was still £3.99 in lidl Letchworth an hour ago :-(

this is a hot price!!

I absolutely love this fruit, seriously if you are passing by try it, replaced mango as my favourite fruit. Shame there is no Lidl anywhere near me...

good find op, heat added

what do these taste like? x

Never seen red lychees lol. This fruit is either amazing or rank depending on its quality and how ripe they are. I never buy fruit from lidl personally.

I just wish hygiene was better at Lidl. Too many grubby, unwashed hands touching fruit/bakery items....

a few left in Fratton Lidl, but not the best quality

a cross between a grape and a strawberry.

Look like eye balls but taste amazing

Taste isn't dependent on the colour. I find the better the lychee, the thinner the skin ;-)

Crust washing is a spectator event in Belgium, along with tie dying of a banana loaf and who can forget blueberry ducking.

​Bread ... seriously!

I tried these for the first time this week, One of the only exotic fruits available that I had not tried.

Am I the only one that thinks they taste just like Rose Turkish Delight?!?!?!

So if you like rose turkish delight you will love these IMO. Also the price is fantastic, Very cheap!

Have some heat :smile:

love lychees

Wembley branch had some. i got about a kg

got some today £1:99 and was amazed that after taking off the skin and the big stone how little fruit you get

Love lychees ever since I tried my first fresh lychee smoothie in Thailand a few years ago. Will see if I can get some from Lidle to make my own, although I'll probably need 1kg just for 1 glass of smoothie (not much left after the shell and stone are removed).

Just bought 6KG worth at Cricklewood

Love this fruit but shame it only comes fr a short time
For those who want to taste u can try the rubicon lychee juice

lychees are a great fruit, very aromatic & fragrant and perfect after a heavy, savoury meal. pick the largest, pinkest ones for best quality and beware of mold or leakage.

For years I thought it was Lime Cheese and that was the name for the spread you put on toast.

Bought some at £1.99 per KG an hour ago. Tried a couple and they are very sweet. Really tasty and a very good price. I did spend a good 5 min or so picking the red ones then weighting them on the scales to hit the 1 KG mark.... :-)

Lychees taste absolutely fantastic when fresh. They taste rank if they are overripe. Have to agree, a thin skin on the lychee means that the fruit is ready to eat while a thicker skin lychee may taste sour.

How do you prepare these these? Can they be added to a smoothie whole, unpeeled ect?

Don't know how to upland pic on here from the app but I just brought a few. The ones in the box were very few left and looked a bit off but still picked a few to try out. When I got to the checkout saw a big handful in a bag left over from a customer so I swapped them and took a few out as there were too many. Got about 9 for 31p so cheap!!! Cheaper than the Choctaw I brought. Really nice and cheap. Should have got the rest that were in the bag too.

Gotcha, thanks. Only ever had lychee in drink as far as I can remember.

thanks, £1.99 in Braintree

So f'd off! I only purchased a wee bag and specifically asked the girl at checkout, when does the offer end and in reply "oh it's not an offer its just normal price" so I then thought ok I can get them after work tomorrow so when I went back, they were back up in price!! I actually am really mad at her D:

Has the offer expired. Wanted to get some more at £1.99
