People just need to get rid of its kernel and then put the pulp into the mouth. This is the easiest way to eat it. Actually, there are some other ways. I prefer to eat icy litchi. Just put them on the ice for half an hour and then you can enjoy icy litchi. In southern Fujian Province, locals have a special way to eat litchi. They get rid of its litchi, dip the pulp in soy sauce and then eat it. Its taste is complicated but nice. Are there any other methods? Some people say it’s ok to eat litchi with salt, chili powder or oyster sauce. Other fruits like waxberry, mango, watermelon, pineapple and carambola can be eaten in this way too.
