Selecting tips
- Mangosteen is sweetest and ready to eat when the rind is dark purple. Fruit that is a red-purple colour will continue to ripen once of the tree.
- Choose fruit that has bright green and glossy stems. Stems that are brown and floppy indicate that the fruit is overripe.
- When selecting Mangosteen, avoid squeezing the outside as it can cause bruising to the fruit. Instead, select the fruits that are heavier in weigh. This is an indication of freshness.
