Mangosteen  

Mangosteen is found in lots of other countries as well. In fact, I envy the person who took it commercially global. Now they have bottled the juice and sells in the global market for an extorbitant price. I think of the days when I was young, and mongosteens were lying everywhere, and we did not even want to look at them, let alone eating them.

It is also available in my Country which is in the Philippines and this is also one of the expensive fruit in my place.......

ok now that we know where it is what is the point of this?

Yes, I have also not tried eating this. Let me try. I have seen it in all the fruit shops in Chennai too. It is available in plenty also.
I just found a site about the benefits of the fruit.
The mangosteen fruit is high in carbohydrates, fibers and iron but low in vitamins and minerals. Juice provides many benefits that will help improve the immune system and blood circulation, strengthen the body’s ability to fight disease and infection due to its powerful antioxidants and healthy nutrients.

Recent research studies on mangosteen fruit and juice suggest that it is helpful in preventing and stopping diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and other chronic diseases.It is no wonder that a growing number of health practitioners are using the mangosteen in their clinical practice.
