1. The concubine smiles

I believe we all have a deep impression on du Mu's poem: "once riding the concubine of the world of mortals smiles, no one knows it is litchi." Indeed, Feizixiao is of very good quality and belongs to high-quality litchi, which usually matures during the period from May to June. This kind of litchi is relatively large, the meat is also very rich, and the stone is not big.

However, when buying this kind of litchi, it should be noted that if the skin of the whole fruit is red, the quality will be reduced, so it is not suitable to buy it at this time. Generally speaking, if the peel of Feizixiao is red and red, the taste is the best if it is 1-1-1-2.

2. Hang green

Hanging green is one of the best varieties of litchi, mainly produced in Zengcheng, Guangdong Province.

This variety is not only a superior variety of Zengcheng litchi in Guangdong, but also one of the famous species of litchi in Guangdong. It gets its name because there is a green mark in the middle of litchi. Hanging green core is large and slightly flat, the meat is particularly crisp, sweet and slightly fragrant, the quality is excellent, the fruit is more resistant to storage.

The survivor of this variety is a new tree born from the sprouting of the tree base when the old tree died in 1979. Litchi is a cherished variety. At the beginning of the 21st century, a single litchi was auctioned at a sky-high price, breaking the Guinness World record.

3. Glutinous rice curd

Glutinous rice "litchi, referred to as glutinous rice", also known as rice branch, ancient known as crystal pill, is one of the varieties of litchi. The fruit shape of this variety is eccentric dirty shape, crooked handle, large fruit shape, bright red wax yellow in color, no obvious prickle sensation in the pericarp, milky white, translucent, rich, tender and smooth taste, extremely sweet taste, thin nucleus, high natural sugar content. It contains a variety of essential amino acids, trace elements and vitamins, and has a variety of nourishing functions. It is a rare Lingnan fruit. In Dongguan and other places, this variety is known as the "king of litchi".

However, glutinous rice paste is relatively late on the market, usually in early June or late July so that it matures.

Nuomici litchi is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, with Guangzhou, Dongguan, Zengcheng, Conghua and Gaozhou as the main producing areas.

4. Guiwei

Guiwei this litchi is characterized by a hint of sweet-scented osmanthus aroma, and the core is very small, the taste is very sweet, the meat crisp is very popular. Guiwei usually matures and goes on the market in late June every year. Guiwei is not big and belongs to medium height.

There is a variety of cinnamon called "duck head green", which is a good taste of cinnamon and is usually produced by some old trees. Guiwei meat is crisp and crisp, because it has a planned taste, so people will feel particularly sweet when eating, and the kernel is also relatively small.

Secondly, Zhongshan, Panyu, Nanhai, Shunde, Qingyuan, Conghua, Gaohe, Kaiping, Baoan, Gaozhou, Puning, Chaoan, Lianjiang and other places are cultivated, among which Luogang Town in Guangzhou is the most famous.

March Red

March Red is the most precocious variety of litchi. March Red is on the market one after another shortly after the Qingming Festival.

This kind of litchi has a large core, yellow and white meat, sweet taste with a little sour, so some people do not like to eat sour food, not particularly fond of March red. However, the quality of this kind of litchi can also be called medium.

The variety is distributed in Guangdong Pearl River Delta, western Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan (such as Pingbian County) and other places.

6. Black leaves

Black-leaf litchi is also called black-leaf litchi, mainly because its leaves are black, so it gets its name. The fruit is medium-sized and uniform in size. The pericarp is purplish red, the top of the fruit is obtusely round and oblique, and the shoulder of the fruit is high on one side and low on the other.

Although black-leaf litchi is not popular with diners because of its large core, many lychee ice cream or cheese are seasoned with black-leaf lychee because of its strong flavor.

This variety was originally distributed in Guangdong, and later became a local variety widely planted in the coastal areas of southern subtropics, such as Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan and so on.
