Lychee Juice

Lychee juice is the liquid extracted from the lychee fruit, a small, sweet, tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. The fruit has a white, translucent flesh and a rough, reddish-pink outer shell. The juice is typically made by pressing the peeled fruit to release its natural juices.

Lychee juice is primarily used to add a distinct, sweet, floral flavor to beverages, desserts, and candies. It can be found in fruit juices, nectars, cocktails, sherbets, and as a flavoring agent in baked goods and confectioneries.

Lychee juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients found in the fruit. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated lychee and its extracts. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of lychee juice.
