Mangosteen

Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by in Ingredients

The thick, dark purple shell of the mangosteen protects small white segments, which are thirst-quenching, sweet with a hint of sourness, and delicious. A curious fact about mangosteens is that if you look at the blossom end there is always a scar in the shape of a flower. You can predict with certainty that there will be the same number of segments in the mangosteen as there are petals on the flower. The undoubted best way of eating the mangosteen is fresh and raw.
