mangosteens
Purple-skinned Asian fruits
Mangosteens are tropical fruits with thick, purple rinds and soft, white, segmented flesh inside.
The flavor is sweet and tangy, sometimes described as a blend of peach and citrus.
Native to Southeast Asia, mangosteens are prized as a delicacy but rarely seen fresh in Western markets due to import restrictions and their short shelf life.
