Mangosteen

Mangosteens are most commonly used is raw applications and are eaten fresh or juiced. Ripe fruits will be soft, yielding to pressure, and can be scored around the middle and then peeled fairly easily, despite the thick skin. Use a sharp knife to cut through the shell all the way around the middle, and lift off the top half. Be careful when removing the flesh from the other side, as the shell contains a purple juice that will stain. Mangosteens can also be canned or frozen, though some say that these methods compromise the delicate flavor and texture. Mangosteens are most often used for sweet applications like baked goods, beverages, and sorbet or ice cream, but are also used in curry dishes in parts of Thailand and Goa. Companion ingredients include, citrus, apple, pineapple, banana, kiwi, watermelon, pomegranate, butter, and vanilla. Mangosteens can bruise easily, which causes the inner flesh to harden, and they do not ripen any further once they are picked, so the fruit will start to degrade after it is harvested.
