1After reading about them on a number of blogs I gave one a try and didn't feel that they were worth the hype. The inside resembles a brain and is squishy. The taste is nice, but I wouldn't choose it over other fruit.
Mangosteens: The overrated fruit.
(But of course, that's just one person's opinion.)
2Oh I love this fruit. It's called Manggis in Indonesia. People don't actually use knives to open them, simply cusp the fruit using both of your palms, and squeeze. It can be messy sometimes, but it gets easier with practice. Damn, now I feel like I wanna go back home.
3I've had the fortunate pleasure of having these fresh and they are truly amazing....that is once you get past eating the fibery flesh part of it. I saw them recently at a korean grocery store in Cherry Hill, NJ...but they were frozen and there was no price tag...probably an arm and a leg.
But mangosteens are supposed to be extremely high in anti-oxidants. Definitely considered a superfood. You can buy the juice only through Xango. I have several friends who swear that the stuff prevents colds and reduces sickness time.
I can't wait till i go back to the philippines to have more of these. thanks for posting and bringing back the memories!
Even though the crust of your pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving turned out flaky and buttery, consider everyone "pie"-ed out. Try these non-pie ways to use up leftover disk of dough.
