Lychees are a delicious tropical fruit that are also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Some of the potential health benefits of lychees include:

1. Rich in Vitamin C: Lychees are an excellent source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps to boost the immune system and protect against infection.
2. Good for heart health: Lychees contain antioxidants that may help to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
3. May help to prevent cancer: Lychees contain compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols that have been shown to have anti-cancer properties.
4. May support weight loss: Lychees are low in calories, and high in fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and reduce your overall calorie intake.
5. Good for skin health: Lychees are rich in antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, keeping the skin looking youthful and healthy.

It’s worth noting that this list of benefits are in some way supported by scientific studies but more research is needed to confirm their impact. Also as with any food, it is best to consume lychees in moderation.

And this is how you can make your own organic lychee gummies:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup lychee juice (organic if you can find it)
• 1/4 cup Manuka honey or organic agave nectar
• 3 tbsp grass-fed gelatin
• 1 tsp organic lemon juice
• 1 tsp organic vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the lychee juice, honey or agave nectar, and gelatin.
2. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
3. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract (if using).
4. Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8 inch square baking dish, or into silicone gummy molds.
5. Refrigerate for at least two hours, or until firm.
6. Once firm, use a sharp knife to cut the gummies into small squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

• It is very important that you use organic ingredients to make these gummies, as they are free from harmful chemicals or pesticides.
• You can make the gummies any shape or size you like, you can use different molds or forms to make gummies of your own design.
• You can also adjust the sweetness to your liking.
• You can find organic lychee juice or canned lychee, in some well-stocked health food stores or online stores.
