So there is this crazy looking little fruit. It looks like something from Dora the Explorer, right? All round and purple and with cute round leaves? ... I digress..
There are "cloves" inside the mangosteen that come out individually. You cut around the thick firm shell and inside is the fruit. The number of petals on the bottom of the fruit corresponds with the number of cloves on the inside, magical!
Each clove has a large flat seed in it. They reminded me of a persimmon seed, and had sort of a clear jelly substance around them...
The fruit itself was a light and foamy texture, with a mild almost citrusy taste. A google search would tell me that this is a superfruit, but i would prefer to eat a summer peach any day of the week.
Tasty and fun!
