Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 23, 2009 Staff Share Posted July 23, 2009 Mangosteen is considered an exotictropical fruit that is grown primarily in hot, humid climates of southeast Asia such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia,Philippines and Vietnam. Mangosteen has a thick outer skin that isdark purplein colour. Itabout 2 to 3 inches in diameter the size of apeach or small apple. It bears fruits only twic a year. And usually fruit at the same time as the durian. It's flesh is white and sweet. And it is said to be a "cooling" fruit. Many people take mangosteen after taking the heaty durian. The most unique feature of each magosteen is that it has a distinct marking in the form of a petal. And the strangest thing is that the number of petals = to the number of pieces of slices of fruit. If there are 5 petals it definitely means there are 5 slices of the fruit etc... Check out my pictures... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
