Mangosteen

This one recently made an appearance in some our our boxes as a bit of a surprise.

The mangosteen is a tropical evergreen tree producing edible fruit which is sweet and tangy having a peach flavour and texture.

Mangosteen is high in dietry fibre, folate and exocarp xanthones, an antioxidant.

Mangosteen juice is commonly marked as Xango Juice and is said to help and strengthen the imune system, reduce arthritis, has natural inflammatory properties and antioxidants.

Botanically, the mangosteen bears no relation to the mango
