The mangosteen is a tropical fruit with exquisite taste qualities, coming from a tree of the Hypericaceae family. Spherical in shape, its thick skin is violet-brown. Its pulp, divided into 5 or 6 segments, is white, very juicy, refreshing and tasty, and it melts gently on the palate. This sweet tropical fruit stands out for its delicious aroma.    

The origin of the mangosteen is located in the tropical areas of Asia. Currently, it is cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries and the main producers are Thailand, Indonesia, China, as well as South America and South Africa.      

The mangosteen contains proteins, vitamin C, and a very high percentage of vitamin B. It also offers refreshing properties that are highly appreciated in countries with a tropical and temperate climate.    

The best way to eat mangosteen to savor its exquisiteness and exoticism is naturally. To do this, the fruit is slightly crushed so that the skin opens and reveals the segments of juicy and tasty pulp that can be eaten directly with a small fork.      

The mangosteen is kept in optimal conditions in the refrigerator.
