Mangosteen

The Mangosteen is truly exotic, when opened it looks like an tropical orchid. In fruit hunting lore, Queen Victoria set a bounty of 100 pounds sterling for one fresh one.

Preparation Tips

How to open: Make a shallow cut around the equator of the fruit, avoid cutting into the soft interior. Then twist each hemisphere. Scoop out and enjoy. Some of the larger segments of fruit may have inedible seeds.
