Thai Mangosteen

Thai Mangosteen (มังคุด)

With possibilities of devouring a fruit buffet on the daily, Thailand is a paradise for fruit lovers.

It’s such an incredible feeling to crack open a mangosteen (Mangkut มังคุด) and see pure white flawless flesh.

Sometimes you can even sense the meat will be so fleshy, that the seeds will be very small, or even nonexistent. Have you ever had a seedless mangosteen? Let me tell you, it’s an occasion to rejoice!
