Specify Lychees by Pit Removal, Texture and Presentation
Whole peeled lychee is a presentation product; dice and puree are processing ingredients. Each needs a different acceptance basis for pit fragments, color, texture and broken fruit.
Color
Agree the acceptable white-to-translucent color and discoloration or browning limit.
Texture
Balance ripeness and flavor with the firmness needed for whole-fruit or cut applications.
Juice release
Review thawed drainage and syrup or beverage behavior in the intended recipe or pack.

Use these answers to prepare your product inquiry. The quotation states product availability, specification, packing and delivery timing.
Are whole frozen lychees peeled and pitted?
The listed whole form is peeled with the seed removed. The signed specification should still define seed and pit-fragment acceptance and inspection.
Which lychee forms are available?
Working forms include whole peeled, natural halves, 10 mm dice and puree. Current availability, size and tolerances are confirmed in the quotation.
How is browning controlled?
Agree the acceptable color range, discoloration limit, maturity and handling basis, then approve a representative sample where visual appearance matters.
Will whole lychees soften after thawing?
Some texture change is natural. Test the proposed product in the actual dessert, beverage or foodservice workflow and define the acceptable result.
Can puree be supplied without pit fragments?
Pit fragments are a safety control for every prepared form. State the screen and foreign-material requirements so the route and inspection plan can be reviewed.
Can you guarantee a variety or crop season?
We confirm variety direction, origin, crop/production timing and stock for the quoted route; these are not fixed across all orders.
What packing protects whole fruit?
We coordinate inner liner, case weight, carton, pallet or floor-loading basis and frozen handling. The final construction appears in the approved packing specification.
What should I send for a lychee quote?
Send form, size, application, quantity, pack, destination, pit-removal and testing needs, documents and timing.
