Mangosteen Fruits Is In Season.

Durian is my favourite seasonal fruit. And after durian, mangosteen will be next in line. Mangosteen is another seasonal fruit. Durian and mangosteen go hand in hand. Durian is considered a "heaty" fruit, while mangosteen is suppose to "cool" down the body heat. So after eating durians, it is recommended to eat some mangosteens.

This year, there is an abundance of durians and mangosteens. I bought a few rounds of mangosteen and each round of about 3 kilos or more.

As you can see, the skin is thick and takes up most of the weight. For the sake of photographs, I used a knife to cut the skin.

Otherwise, I will just use both palms to press open the mangosteen, as you can see those uneven broken skin on the right side (above picture).

The flesh is white and juicy. It is sweet with a slight sourish taste.

The number of fruit segments are revealed at the bottom of the fruit. The above picture shows 5 segments, and there are really 5 segments of white flesh inside.

The smaller segments will have little tiny soft seeds but the bigger ones will have bigger seeds which can be spit out.

Linking to Floral Bliss

Happy is the man who doesn't give in

and do wrong when he is tempted,

for afterwards he will get as his reward the crown of life

that God has promised those who love him.

(James 1:12, The Living Bible-TLB)
