MANGOSTEEN

MANGOSTEEN

Mangosteen, Queen of the fruit, is from the south and the east of Thailand. When it is ripened, the rind (exocarp) of the edible fruit is deep reddish purple and beautiful white meat. Botanically an aril, the fragrant edible flesh can be described as sweet and tangy, citrusy with peach flavor and texture. The consumers also feel refresh when they have it and the fruit can help to reduce the heat of our body as well. Mangosteen is typically advertised and marketed as part of an emerging category of novel functional foods sometimes called “Superfruits” presumed to have a combination of 1) appealing subjective characteristics, such as taste, fragrance and visual qualities, 2) nutrient richness, 3) antioxidant strength and 4) potential impact for lowering risk against human diseased.
