<< review queue entry 40818 - submitted by 'fengli' >> Cant find an English name for it. I've only ever seen it in Taiwan, maybe there is not an English name? See news article/video http://www.tvbs.com.tw/NEWS/NEWS_LIST.asp?no=nunumt198720120613192630 Editor: There are many different cultivars of lychee, ... Other notable cultivars: ..., the Concubine Smiles (feizixiao), ..., the Jade Purse (yuhebao) Named because of its large fruits and the thick meat within. The seed is small in this cultivar. ---- "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs" [at Google Books] 「Famous Taiwanese jade purse lychee」 The best summer fruit in Taiwan has to be the green skin jade purse lychee that is with a touch of red. Jade purse lychee tastes the best when it's 80% ripe. It is with more flesh and small seed, juicy and sweet. Picky Japanese customers would order over 100 tons of this variety every year as they only want the Taiwanese jade purse lychee and not the similar smile of concubine lychee. ---- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVoJYUWd70g |
