How to save litchi from spoiling
-
Litchi is always sold with its stem, so it does not spoil and lasts for many days. If you have brought more litchis home, then avoid breaking its stem. Wash the litchis and store them in the open without breaking the stem. Keep sprinkling some water on it from time to time. This will keep the litchis from spoiling for many days.

If there is too much moisture in litchi, it starts to spoil quickly. Litchi has its own juice which keeps coming out. If there is more moisture on top of it, it can get spoiled. Never keep litchi wet in the fridge after washing it. First wash it and let the water dry and then wrap it in a paper.
-
Another thing to keep in mind while storing litchis is that if any litchi from the bunch is spoiled or overripe, then remove it. Otherwise, this ripe or spoiled litchi can spoil other litchis quickly. If the litchis are very ripe, then eat them within 2-3 days. Keep the remaining litchis in the fridge but separately from other vegetables.

Many times we buy fruits and vegetables from the market and keep them in the fridge. This spoils the fruits and vegetables quickly. Never keep litchis in polythene. Remove the litchis from the foil and keep them aside. Store the litchis in a cool place or keep them in a paper bag. This will keep the litchis fresh for many days.
Tips for buying litchi
If you like litchis, then buy and eat them only after it rains. Litchis become sweeter and juicier due to rain. The acid present in litchis also reduces with the first rain. Check well while buying litchis. Many times shopkeepers sell bad litchis by hiding them in the middle. Therefore, check them carefully before buying. Litchis with a little red or brown colour are sweeter in taste.
