A can of Roland lychees is more unique, longer-lasting, and versatile than a fresh fruit basket, with year-round shelf stability.

Roland delivers both whole fruit and syrup in one can, offering more value and versatility than a single-purpose cocktail syrup.
Will the recipient know how to use this if they have never cooked with lychees?
Yes. The product is intuitive: the fruit can be eaten as a snack, and the syrup sweetens tea, cocktails, and desserts with minimal instruction.
Is the can size appropriate for gifting, or too large?

Yes. Customers consistently report that the can arrives tightly wrapped in plastic and in perfect condition, ready to gift.

Reserve the syrup from the can. Add 2 oz of the lychee syrup to a shaker with vodka and a splash of vermouth, shake with ice, and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a whole lychee.
How do I make the non-alcoholic lychee spritz for kids?
Add a few whole lychees to a glass, pour over sparkling water or lemon-lime soda, and sweeten with a spoonful of the reserved syrup. Serve over ice for a fun, kid-friendly drink.
How do I make the Halloween eyeball punch with lychees?
Stuff a frozen blueberry into the center of each whole lychee to create an eyeball effect. Float them in a punch bowl with a splash of grenadine for a spooky bloody look.

Yes. The pre-pitted fruit blends smoothly into smoothies, protein shakes, and fresh juices without needing additional prep.
Is this product compatible with dietary preferences like vegan or vegetarian lifestyles?
Yes. Canned lychees in heavy syrup are typically compatible with vegan and vegetarian diets, though you should verify the ingredient list for your specific dietary needs.

Each 20 oz can contains whole, pre-peeled, pre-pitted lychees packed in heavy syrup. The syrup is fully usable for sweetening drinks and desserts.
Are there any safety concerns with canned lychees?
Roland lychees use a 100% all natural formulation with no artificial preservatives. As with any canned product, inspect the can for damage before opening and refrigerate any unused portions.

Once opened, transfer the fruit and syrup to a sealed container and refrigerate. Consumed within a few days for best quality and freshness.
What is the difference between canned lychees and fresh lychees?
