Mangosteen - 250g

A tropical fruit imported from Vietnam. Inside each Mangosteen's woody dark purple shell are 5 to 7 plump, moist cream-colored sections whose kaleidoscopic flavor has been described as a combination of peach, orange, strawberry and citrus.

To prepare, simply hold the fruit with the stem-end down and cut around the fruit's middle or "equator" with the point of a sharp knife. Open the shell and lift each creamy white segment out with a fork.
