Mangosteen -- The Queen of Fruits...

The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. Often heralded as the "Queen of Fruits”, it is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button and lemon-drop mangosteen.The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The rind (pericarp) of the edible fruit is deep reddish purple when ripe. Botanically an aril, the fragrant edible flesh is sweet and creamy, citrus-like with some peach flavor.

The health benefits of mangosteen are increasingly used to enhance nutritional supplements, lending the unique properties of the rare South Asian fruit to our diet. Some of the more exciting health benefits of mangosteen juice, which has been used for centuries, include fatigue prevention, immune boosting properties, super antioxidant qualities, anti-inflammatory properties, helps support and maintain vascular health, helps reduce anxiety… the list goes on. “While we don’t fully understand all of the benefits of the phytonutrient xanthones found in the mangosteen fruit, with the international studies and attention it’s getting, we’re moving closer to understanding,” says Barnet Meltzer, M.D., a leading preventative medicine authority. “Traditional healers have known about mangosteen's healing properties for centuries; modern science is now beginning to catch up.”
