The mangosteen, queen of the tropical fruit.
~David Fairchild
I had never heard of this fruit until recently. I can't find it, even at upscale grocery stores. I really want to try one!
All about mangosteen.
Mangosteen fruits are deep purple in color and are similar in size to plums. They are not related to mangos.
It is a delicious fruit, by all accounts.
Note: An Asian market might be a place to find mangosteen fruits.
Another thing learned: Mangosteens were banned from importation to the US until 2006 (to prevent the Asian fruit fly being imported).
