How Do You Eat Mangosteens?



That's how Alycia savors her mangosteens. As for me, I will break the mangosteen into half with the both of my palm, then use a fork to poke the flesh out. That's the easiest way to eat mangosteens. How do you eat your mangosteen?

I love, love mangosteen. It has been years since I tasted one. It's so expensive here. I used to eat it by breaking it in half and pick each segment.

Never eat like this b4, will sure try out for my girl next time.

I usually eat them one by one, breaking in half from top to the bottom, and scoop the flesh out with a fork and eat. And i like to eat in bulk, at least 10+ at a time.

half frozen mangosteens also vey nice. put whole mangosteens in the freezer, cut open sideways with knife, and scoop the flesh out with fork. It just like eating mangosteen sorbet ice cream...

pull stem out, squeeze to open and bite on the flesh. No spoon.. too slow ! :) Have you come across mangosteen with 8 florets of petals at the bottom and corresponding 8 segments of flesh. It's very rare and in olden days, these are considered a gem and dried for medicinal properties. :)
