Lychee Fruit Parfait

Lychee is a fruit of a tall evergreen that is native to subtropical parts of Asia.It is a heart-shaped fruit the size of a walnut with a rough , leathery reddish skin.When gently cracked, it yields a transluscent , white skin surrounding a smooth, brown seed that is similar to a skinless grape.Like all fruits, lychees are best eaten fresh, but unfortunately are hard to find. Fortunately, canned lychees are widely available in many Asian markets and unlike many fruits, they retain much of their sweet, floral flavor.Lychees can be eaten as is or be used in smoothies, compotes, sorbets, or salads.
