1. Early Harvest Litchis
Lorsque les litchis de Madagascar atteignent leur maturité précoce, ils sont récoltés avec précaution par des agriculteurs expérimentés. Ces fruits sont sélectionnés avec soin pour garantir leur fraîcheur et leur qualité optimale. Ils sont ensuite rapidement transportés vers des installations de transformation spécialement équipées. Les litchis sont triés, nettoyés et emballés de manière à préserver leur texture délicate et leur goût exquis. Le respect de la chaîne du froid est essentiel pour préserver leur fraîcheur. Les litchis primeurs de Madagascar sont expédiés rapidement vers les marchés internationaux, permettant aux consommateurs de déguster ces délicieux fruits dans leur état ‘prime’, avec leur douceur et leur arôme caractéristiques préservés.
2. Organic Fresh Shelled Litchis
Once litchis reach their optimal maturity, they are carefully harvested. The fruits are then transported to processing facilities, where they are meticulously peeled and deseeded. This process results in fresh shelled litchis with a perfect texture and exquisite taste. After processing, the organic fresh shelled litchis are packaged to preserve their freshness and nutritional integrity.
3. Fresh Bunch Litchis
The fruits are harvested while keeping their original bunch intact, which helps maintain their freshness and appealing aesthetic. The fresh bunch of litchis are then transported to specialized processing facilities, where they are sorted, cleaned, and carefully packaged. Through proper handling and packaging practices, the fresh bunch litchis are preserved in an optimal state until they reach local and international markets. Consumers can enjoy the beauty and freshness of the litchis, savoring their delicious taste while also having a visually pleasing experience due to the presence of the bunch.
4. Sulphured Shelled Litchis
Once harvested at their optimal maturity, litchis are carefully sorted and selected. They are then subjected to a sulphuring treatment, which involves exposing the fruits to a controlled amount of sulphur dioxide. This treatment helps prevent color degradation, reduces bacterial growth, and extends the shelf life of the litchis. After the treatment, the litchis are precisely shelled to remove the pits, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable consumption experience. The sulphured shelled litchis are then packaged under optimal conditions to maintain their freshness and quality, ready to be marketed in local and international markets. Consumers can enjoy delicious and convenient litchis while benefiting from an extended shelf life due to the sulphuring treatment.
