Dear steem itu, I would like to share about fruit Mangosteen fruit consists of three main parts: hard purple skin, edible white meat, and seeds wrapped in meat. The seeds taste very bitter, while the meat has a delicate aroma and texture with a sweet sour taste. The outer shell or the skin of the mangosteen (pericarp) is rather hard, but can be opened easily.
While if the mangosteen seeds taste bitter and can not be eaten, but the skin of the hard mangosteen is now widely sold as an extraction product that is believed to cure various cancers. This is according to research, that the juice extract of mangosteen peel contains xanthone compounds that are believed to be a nutritious antioxidant. (for the skin of mangosteen, we will discuss next article)
