The flesh of the lychee is delicately fragrant. It has a distinctive, sweet and slightly acidic taste with floral undertones and a refreshing note. Many people describe the aroma of lychee as a combination of grape, strawberry, citrus and pineapple flavors. The fruit is rich in beneficial nutrients.
Princess is another yellow grape with a slight Muscat flavor that’s much easier to grow than Summer Muscat. Unfortunately the Muscat flavor of Princess is 5% that of SM. If they could combine the taste of Summer Muscat with the berry size and cluster characteristics of Princess they’d have a raving success. That should only be a matter of time. Maybe even at some point it could be a disease resistant, cold hardy, Eastern seedless cultivar.
I’d been reading this thread all day at work, all excited about the possibilites. Then got home, ate dinner, and went to a Boston area wholefoods to see if they had any. They did! And they definitely do have that lychee flavor. My wife, who’s from Cinque Terre, Italy, tried one and said it reminded her of the grapes her aunt grows. She’s giving her aunt a call tomorrow to find out the name of the grape. I’ll post what she comes up with.
I’ve never tasted lychee so can’t comment on that. But I’ve mentioned many times that Summer Muscat is by far the best tasting grape I’ve grown. Very strong flavor and very agreeable. It’s actually a raisin grape. Has small berries that crack even in my greenhouse with no rain. Will have my first outdoor crop this yr. I’m hoping by some miracle they’ll be easier to grow outside than in. If so that will be a first.
I trimmed it all over, removed dried/brown spots, and addded it to a cup mixed with root hormones full of water, will try moss and perlite for the other 2 and see if i can get any to take at all. Try to graft it to some current grapevines if it works or something.
Lychee flavor sounds like what is commonly called muscat flavor (and thus “muscat” in the grape name). Its not exactly lychee but is pretty similar. I really wish I could grow one here, I did grow several muscats and I miss that flavor. Jupiter and New York Muscat are ones that can be grown in the east, but they are not up to the flavor of the real thing. But for kitchen purpose they are close.

FAQ
What does lychee taste similar to?
Why isn t lychee popular in the us?
Why do lychees taste so good?
Why does lychee taste like rose?
What does canned lychee taste like?
A word of warning: canned lychee has an appearance similar to white grapes in fruit cocktail. The flavor is markedly different from grapes and has a hint of rose. Canned lychee is quite popular in fruit salads and can even be blended into sorbets and ice cream. Bartenders are building a fan base of the lychee fruit with lychee martinis!
What does a lychee look like?
The fruit of the lychee tree, the lychee, is of the drupe type and is red in color and has a round, ovoid or heart-shaped shape. In general, it is 2 to 3. 5 cm in diameter and is found in clusters. The bark is rough and easy to peel off.
Is lychee fruit edible?
While it’s incredibly convenient to chomp right into a peach, pear, or apple, which is self-contained in edible wrapping (its own skin), lychee fruit doesn’t have such convenience. Instead, you can think of it like an orange or banana. Yes, you have to peel away the outer layer, but the inside is uber-protected from damage, chemicals, and bacteria.
How do you know if Lychees are ripe?
When selecting lychees, choose fruit with a bright red skin that’s about 1 inch in diameter. The skin should give a little when pressed, but if it’s too soft, it’s probably overripe. The fruit should also have a floral smell.
