mangosteen
Southeast Asian fruit
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, prized for its sweet, tangy white flesh divided into segments like citrus.
The thick purple rind is inedible.
Sometimes called the "queen of fruits," mangosteens are difficult to find fresh outside tropical regions: I finally tried fresh mangosteen in Thailand.
