Lychees, flesh only, raw, weighed with skin and stone

Lychees are a fruit; the food described here is the raw flesh, with the fruit weighed before removing the skin and stone. The figures therefore refer to the edible flesh from 100g of whole fruit, not to 100g of flesh alone. This provides 8.9g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, 28mg of vitamin C and 0.1g of fat.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugars in raw lychee flesh occur naturally within the fruit. For people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake, the distinction between whole-fruit weight and edible-flesh weight matters when using these values. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
