Freeze-dried lychee pieces: floral and crunchy exoticism

The freeze-dried lychee pieces are lychee from which the water has been removed by freeze-drying, preserving its unmistakable exotic, sweet, and floral flavor, and its delicate aroma. The result is a light and crunchy piece that concentrates the character of this tropical fruit, which is difficult to find fresh and has a very short season.

Containing no moisture or preservatives, it allows you to work with lychee all year round with consistent quality. It is used as is, as a crunchy inclusion or decoration, or crushed into powder for flavoring. Being hygroscopic, it should be added to moist preparations just before serving to preserve the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does lychee taste like and what does it pair with?
Lychee has a sweet, exotic, and markedly floral flavor, with a perfumed note reminiscent of rose. It pairs wonderfully with raspberry and rose (the classic Ispahan), as well as with coconut, lime, and white chocolate.
What is freeze-drying and why does it better preserve the aroma of lychee?
Freeze-drying removes water through sublimation (from ice directly to vapor, without passing through a liquid state) at low temperatures. It is one of the methods that best preserves the floral aroma and flavor of this tropical fruit with a very short season, without preservatives and resulting in a light and stable product all year round.
How should I store it once the package has been opened?
As a freeze-dried product, it is very hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture quickly. Store the lychee pieces in a dry place at room temperature (15-25 °C), with the container tightly closed and, preferably, with a desiccant bag inside to maintain the crunchy texture for as long as possible.
