The leechi nut is a type of reddish-brown fruit that can be used to make tea^[1] or juice.^[2] The leechi nut is known to grow in both the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation and is often used as bait for Fire Nation traps to catch small animals.^[3]

Connection Edit

The leechi nut is also a fruit in the real world, more commonly known by their proper name, "lychee", and is native to southern China. It is a nut only in name, as it has a blunt, spiky rind covering the outside, making it more similar to a berry of some kind. It contains inedible seeds separated by white, delicate grape-like pulp. It is unclear whether or not the leechi nut in the World of Avatar is in fact a nut, or a berry like their real-world counterparts.

Trivia Edit

• Katara makes mention of leechi nuts in Love Potion #8, suggesting that breakfast for the day may be "lychee nut surprise".
