The pulp in it is quite small, but at the same time it is incredibly juicy. If you touch it with a knife, then immediately begins to flow sweet aromatic juice. The plant on which the fruit grows is called garcinia, but this is not the Cambodian garcinia that is actively advertised for those who want to lose weight.

Fruits ripen on the plantations of Garcinia, which grows in Thailand, Bali, Southeast Asia, Indonesia. By the way, trees are not pollinated by insects, since the stalks of garcinia have both female and male signs. The tree itself is stunted, has sprawling branches and interesting leaves that first have a pink hue, and then they become dark green and velvety.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the flowers, from which the fruits are later tied. They are white or pink, and their thick fleshy petals are covered with bright green or red spots.

How to choose the right fruit

When buying fruits, I want them to be, first of all, tasty and juicy. It is especially worth choosing exotic options, the taste of which is not familiar for sure.

The peel should be slightly damp, shiny and elastic to the touch. A dry and slightly cracked peel may indicate that the fetus has simply oversized or even rotted inside. It’s great if the peel slightly spring when pressed slightly.

What is the taste of mangosteen

The taste of the fruit is very unusual, bright and intense. First of all, it is memorable. You will immediately feel juiciness and sweetness combined with a slight acidity in the aftertaste.

What to do if you bought not ripe fruit

Exotic fruits are always difficult to choose, especially if you come across them for the first time. Do not throw it in the bin, because there is a way by which it can keep up.

Take the fruit and wash it. Then it should be thoroughly wiped with a towel. It is important to prevent excessive moisture ingress so that mold does not start.

Mangosteen price

In Thailand, exotic fruits are incredibly cheap, simply because in tropical countries they ripen in excess. Therefore, in Pattaya or Phuket, you can buy them at a price of one hundred and up to two hundred baht per kilogram.

In Russia, the price of one fruit can vary from 300-400 rubles, and it consists of transportation, which takes a lot of time. This is an uncharacteristic fruit for our climate, and therefore it is quite expensive.

Where is better to buy

Vacationers in Thailand can purchase ripe, tasty and fresh mangosteen in any quantity at local markets, since they are sold cheaply and in large abundance there.

They are also sold in Russia, and this is not such a rare exotic fruit that will be difficult to get. You can find it in large retail chains, such as "Carousel", "Auchan", "Globus", "Okay." In the markets of large cities, the fetus is extremely rare.

It is best to buy them in exotic countries where they are sold literally just torn from a tree, but if this is not possible, then a large distribution network will do.
