The basic of mangosteen fruit
Many people believe that mangosteen fruit is originated from the Southeast Asia region. It is also available in other areas including India, Africa, and Central and South America. Mangosteen fruit is relatively small, only around 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The color of the shell is purple and it has a small rosette-shaped on the top with 4 to eight segments. This fascinating fruit can be separated into two parts, the soft white center and the thick purple outer shell. The flavor of the fruit is tasty and delicious. The purple outer shell is rich with xanthones, which are antioxidants that are beneficial for health.
