Purple Mangosteen or most commonly known as Mangosteen is a fruit that is popular in Southeast Asia. It can also be grown in tropical climates like in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Colombo and India.
The fruit has a silky texture. It has both a sweet and sour taste that is very addictive.
It's only available for a very short time since it's harvest season only last from about 6-10 weeks.
You can purchase it fresh, bottled or canned. It tends to be a bit pricey.
I'm having my fill of the fruit since I only get to eat it once a year.
