Mangosteen (Queen of Fruits)

Mangosteen, crowned the Queen of Fruits, is celebrated for its deep purple rind and snow-white, segmented flesh that offers a sweet-tart symphony. Each segment contains 73% water, making it lighter than the average tropical fruit and an ideal hydrating snack. It offers 20% higher antioxidant levels than Durian, the #1 fruit, thanks to xanthones that combat inflammation. Priced around NT$150 per kilo during peak season, this fruit delivers a gentle, floral sweetness that contrasts sharply with the boldness of its kingly counterpart. With a flavor profile evoking strawberries and peaches, mangosteen is a refreshing choice for any palate.
