Mangosteen is a tropical fruit known for its unique flavor and pleasant taste. It has a dark purple or reddish rind with a thick, leathery texture. Inside, the fruit is segmented, containing juicy, snow-white flesh. Mangosteen is often praised for its exquisite combination of sweetness and tanginess, often described as a blend of peach, strawberry, and citrus flavors. It is typically eaten by gently pressing the rind with your thumbs to reveal the segments and then enjoying the flesh. Mangosteen is highly regarded for its antioxidant properties and is considered a prized fruit in many Southeast Asian countries.
