LegalCaution
Lychee
Litchi chinensis
A Chinese soapberry with a red shell — peel it, eat the glass-white aril, spit the seed, and do not make a meal of unripe fruit.
Flavor
Floral, grape, a little rose. Canned in syrup is a different, heavier fruit.
In favor
A true perfume when ripe and fresh
Against
Unripe as a staple is a documented harm
Days to harvest
Years to a crop; the grocery and Chinatown stall are the usual path
