Mangosteen Fruit

₹250.00

Mangosteen fruit, scientifically known as Garcinia mangostana, is often called the “Queen of Fruits” due to its rich flavor, soft texture, and exceptional health benefits. This premium tropical fruit is native to Southeast Asia and is widely loved for its unique taste and nutritional value. The fruit has a thick, deep purple rind that protects the soft, juicy white segments inside. The inner flesh is sweet, slightly tangy, and incredibly refreshing—often described as a mix of peach, citrus, and strawberry flavors. Each segment is tender, aromatic, and melts in the mouth, making mangosteen a highly sought-after exotic fruit. The mangosteen tree is a slow-growing evergreen that thrives in warm, humid climates. It requires rich soil, consistent moisture, and protection from extreme temperatures, making it ideal for tropical regions like Kerala. Botanical name: Garcinia mangostana Origin: Southeast Asia (mainly Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand)
