Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love fresh lychee and was hoping to like these as I have never had a dried lychee before. They are delicious. I really wouldn't compare the two overall as to me that is like comparing raisins to grapes - once dried it is a whole different fruit. However, the dried is much more convenient and faster to eat although very chewy kind of like leather. Delicious taste though. I may try soaking them and quick dice and throw into a fruit salad or waldorf..... Enjoy!
