Garcinia mangostana Exotic fruit tree 10”-18”

$49.99

The mangosteen, a fruit also known as “the queen of fruits” comes from Indonesia. It is a fruit with a bittersweet taste (similar to a citrus), with a hard and round rind, which turns red when it reaches its point of maturity. In recent years, the demand for mangosteen has grown, both in Europe and America, since it is one of the most appreciated and sought-after exotic fruits thanks to its nutritional value. For this reason, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends its consumption.

The mangosteen comes from a tropical tree, called Garcinia Mangostana, which can reach a height of 25 meters, and is a fruit known especially in Asian countries. In oriental medicine it is a widely used fruit (for example, the peel is used to combat fever and muscle aches).

To choose this fruit we must look for specimens that are not bruised and that give way slightly when we press them. To open a mangosteen, you have to cut it in half with a knife, and the edible part is the white pulp. The most common is to consume them as a fresh fruit, but they can also be added to salads or prepare sorbets.
