Organic lyophilised mangosteen

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), often referred to as purple mangosteen, is an edible fruit tree found in tropical regions around the equator in South-East Asia and the Pacific, near the Indian Ocean.

Before a mangosteen tree bears fruit, it must grow for at least 10 years. The tree grows to a height of between 6 and 25 metres. It is one of the few plants that is not treated with pesticides. The mangosteen is a tropical fruit and belongs to the same family as the passion fruit.

The mangosteen fruit has a dark purple skin and snow-white, juicy and delicious flesh. Its aroma is sweet and delicate. The fruit inside resembles a mandarin, whilst its flavour is reminiscent of a peach. In South-East Asia, the mangosteen is regarded as the ‘queen of tropical fruits’ due to its exquisite flavour and nutritional value, whilst in the Caribbean it is known as the ‘food of the gods’.
