mangosteen
The tropical fruit mangosteen is grown abundantly in Thailand. It’s the size of a tennis ball, with a firm shell that is deep purple. This unique fruit has a sweet flavor and very soft texture and is rich in antioxidants and micronutrients. It can be found in Asian food stores and markets.
Good mangosteens have healthy-looking green caps and a nice glossy sheen on their outer skins. The fruit should be firm and have no cracks. Make sure the fruit is bug-free, and do not buy fruit that has hardened beads of yellow resin on the outer rinds as those often contain sections that have suffered from resin seepage.

how to open a mangosteen
1.To open your mangosteen, hold it firmly on its side and mak a cut with a serrated knife.
The older the mangosteen, the harder the skin will be.
2. Pull away the skin to reveal the white mangosteen fruit. If a little of the purple shell of the mangosteen sticks to the fruit, leave it be; this deep purple skin is full of antioxidants and valuable micronutrients.
Good mangosteens have sections that are opaque white, firm, and not translucent or yellowish.

Mangosteen can be eaten fresh or combined with other fruits in a fresh fruit salad. Some people juice them, shell and all.
Mangosteen can be used for ice creams and sorbets, and many other desserts, such as mangosteen clafouti. Use it as a garnish on top of an Asian pudding, such as Thai tapioca pudding. You may also want to incorporate mangosteen into savory dishes, adding a sweet layer of flavor.
