Rajshahi litchi is a specific variety of lychee that is highly esteemed for its exceptional taste and quality. It is named after the city of Rajshahi, located in the northwestern region of Bangladesh. Rajshahi is renowned for its litchi production and is often referred to as the "litchi capital" of Bangladesh.
The Rajshahi litchi is known for its large size, sweet flavor, and aromatic fragrance. It has a thin, rough outer skin that is reddish in color. When ripe, the skin is easily peeled to reveal the succulent, juicy flesh inside, which is usually white or pinkish in color. The flesh of the Rajshahi litchi is tender, sweet, and bursting with flavor.
The climate and soil conditions in Rajshahi, coupled with proper cultivation practices, contribute to the exceptional quality of the Rajshahi litchi. The region's hot summers and cool winters, along with fertile soil, provide an ideal environment for litchi cultivation.
Rajshahi litchis are highly sought after and are popular not only in Bangladesh but also in neighboring countries such as India. They are often exported to international markets as well, where they are prized for their superior taste and quality.
During the litchi season, which typically occurs from May to June, Rajshahi becomes a hub of litchi activity. Local markets and vendors are filled with fresh Rajshahi litchis, and people from far and wide flock to Rajshahi to savor the fruit at its best.
