Freeze-Dried Lychee

I grew up in South and Southeast Asia and miss these tropical fruits. It truly tastes 'pure and simple' and picked at the right time (ripe). I tested rehydrating it with some room temperature water and it transformed almost into the texture of a fresh lychee...without having to peel it (or fish it out of a can with with syrup and/or preservatives). It was delicious, and the residual water had a hint of lychee flavor. Most of the pieces were whole or large.I also tried CHAVI's freeze-dried longans and the taste was good as well but many had crumbled to powder.

Too many broken pieces: Bought this before with mostly whole. No padding as before with a heavy can product with no padding also..

The label was peeling off - I wasn’t sure how fresh they were - Tasted strange. Will not buy it again.

Perfect garnish for Lychee martinis. The powder at the bottom of the bag can be used as a rimmer.

My world expanded when I was camping and started to make the boring old PBJ. Well, there was mold 9n the jelly. I thought to myself…what can I use instead. Dragon Fruit Chips might suffice. I took my first bite and thought I heard angels singing. Oh my……you must try it! Good quality white bread, peanut butter on both side and a layer of these delicious, crispy Dragon Fruit slices. You take a bite…taste that peanut butter and the CRUNCH/YUMMMMMM you hit the Dragon Fruit and as you chew you rejoice with every crunch. No sticky jelly on your fingers. Your mouth says YES to the varied textures. I will never go back and now I must order more.I’ve looked around and this seller offers a good deal. Yes, jelly is cheaper….but these crisps are made from a fruit that is pricey so expect to pay more than you would for a jar of jelly. Also, these are so lightweight which makes them great for hiking.

Berries are puffy like pork rinds but not crunchy. They are super sweet and a good substitute for sugar in things like smoothies.

These really satisfy the craving for lychee with the shelf stability and fun texture from being a freeze dried option.

I love lychees and thought this would be good for me but it just doesn't compare to the fresh thing.
