Storage

Store mangosteen in the fridge for a few days.

Preparation

To release the fruit, cut a circle into the thick skin around the stalk and calyx, and lift it off like a lid. This will reveal the segments of pearly flesh within, which can then be removed.

Mangosteen has such a delicious floral taste that it is usually served very simply.

Add mangosteen juice to a citrus jelly or granita or serve the fruit segments in a fresh fruit salad. Lemongrass syrup, camomile and lemon juice all work well with mangosteen. Thai cooks also use mangosteen juice in various savoury dishes to add a sweet note. They heat it through at the last minute.
