How To Choose Sweet Mangosteen

mangosteen

I love Mangosteen. Durian maybe the King of all fruits, Mangosteen is their Queen. Oh ya, durian maybe classified as “heaty” fruit and mangosteen “cooling” fruit, please don’t assume that mangosteen can replace water after eating a lot of durian. It can’t. You still have to drink lots of water after eating durian.

After eating mangosteen for so many years, I just learned that there is such thing as sweet mangosteen and sweet and sour mangosteen. As I approached the fruit stall at Pandan Malim Foodcourt, the fruit seller asked me whether I want sweet mangosteen or sweet and sour mangosteen. I told him that I wanted sweet mangosteen. Then he told me that I should choose those that is not dark purple instead pick the rusted colour.

I showed my disbelief look. How can that ugly looking and doesn’t look ripe mangosteen be sweet? He picked one, peeled it and let me try. Oh yes! It is very sweet. We truly cannot judge the book by its cover!

So I brought home 4kgs of ugly rusted Mangosteen. :D
