Thailand Mangosteen
The tropical fruit mangosteen is grown abundantly in Thailand. It’s the size of a tennis ball, with a firm shell that is deep purple. This unique fruit has a sweet flavor and very soft texture and is rich in antioxidants and micronutrients.
Mangosteen can be eaten fresh or combined with other fruits in a fresh fruit salad. Some people juice them, shell and all. Mangosteen can be used for ice creams and sorbets, and many other desserts, such as mangosteen clafouti. Use it as a garnish on top of an Asian pudding, such as Thai tapioca pudding. You may also want to incorporate mangosteen into savory dishes, adding a sweet layer of flavor.
