The origin of the word 'lychee' is Chinese.

Lychee fruit, also called lychee nuts, are not poisonous. The seed of the lychee is not poisonous, but it is not recommended that it be eaten.

The lychee is a small oval or heart shaped fruit, normally 1-1.5". The lychee had Asian roots, but has been adapted to suitable climates in the US (FL and CA)

The recipe for lychee sherbert is; 24 lychees, seeded and peeled, 1 pack unflavored gelatin, 1/4 cup cold water, 2/3 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup half-and-half, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

anyone who has seen a lychee would say it looks like a pale scrotum...
