“What is Mangosteen?
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), known as the “Queen of All
Fruits,” is considered to be one of the best tasting fruits in the
world.
This rare fruit, when ripe, is about the size of a mandarin
orange, has a juicy white flesh and is encased in a thick
reddish-purple rind.
The fruit itself is sweet with a hint of acidity, often described
as having a deep grape/strawberry-like flavor that melts in the
mouth. Those who have had the privilege of tasting this unique
fruit have characterized it as heavenly and indescribably delicious!
Where is mangosteen originally from?
Mangosteen’s exact place of origin is unknown; however, it is
native to both Malaysia and Indonesia.
Where is Mangosteen currently being cultivated?
Mangosteen cultivation is currently limited to Malaysia, Indonesia,
Thailand, Vietnam, India, the Philippines and other warm, tropical
countries. It has remained primarily in Southeast Asia partly due
to its strict climatic requirements and the fact that the fruit,
although encased in a thick rind, remains edible for only a short
period of time.
In addition to that, Mangosteen seeds are difficult to plant
because they quickly lose their viability. Consequently, the number
of trees that get successfully cultivated every year is very low.
There have been attempts to cultivate Mangosteen in Hawaii,
however, the tree has not become well acclimated and is somewhat
limited there. “
