Mangosteen - lb

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit known as the "Queen of Fruits". It is prized for its sweet, tangy, melt-in-your-mouth white flesh, resembling lychee and peach. Mangosteen is delicious eaten fresh, and can also be enjoyed by adding it to smoothies, juices, baked goods, jams, and sauces! To eat mangosteen, open the soft purple rind by either scoring it with a knife around the equator and twisting, or by squeezing firmly until it cracks. Then, separate the halves to reveal the sweet white segments inside, which you can eat with your fingers or a spoon, discarding the inedible shell and any large seeds. 

Mangosteen is rich in antioxidants, with powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and potential anti-cancer properties. Its high vitamin C content can help to strengthen the immune system, while its high fiber content supports a healthy gut and combined with its low calorie content, can help you to feel full longer, aiding weight loss. Lab studies suggest that xanthones, which mangosteen contains, may inhibit cancer cell growth, which is pretty incredible if you ask me!
