Questions about Mangosteen
How can you tell when a mangosteen is ripe?
Choose one with a deep purple, fairly smooth rind and a green, firm crown. It should give slightly when pressed; a very hard rind can mean the fruit is underripe, while a cracked or shrivelled one may be past its best.
How do you open a mangosteen without crushing the flesh?
Press your thumbs into the rind around its middle until it cracks, then twist the two halves apart. Avoid cutting deeply: the purple rind can stain, and the soft white segments inside bruise easily.
Can you eat the seeds in a mangosteen?
The white flesh is eaten raw, but the seeds are hard and usually spat out. Check each segment as you eat, as some contain a seed.
How should you store mangosteen?
Keep ripe fruit in the fridge in a loose bag and eat it within several days; bring it to room temperature before serving for a fuller flavour. Don’t leave cut segments exposed, as they dry out quickly.
What can you make with mangosteen?
Add peeled segments to a fruit salad, serve them with yoghurt, or fold them into a chilled dessert just before serving. Their delicate, sweet-tart flavour is easily lost in long cooking.
What fruit can you use instead of mangosteen?
For a similar sweet-tart bite in fruit salad, try lychee or rambutan, though both have a firmer texture. Mandarin segments work when you want a juicier, more citrusy substitute.
How does mangosteen compare with tangerine?
Mangosteen has more energy per 100 g: 73 kcal, compared with 61 kcal in tangerine. Tangerine has much more vitamin C, at 17 mg per 100 g compared with 2.9 mg in mangosteen.
How much mangosteen is a typical serving?
