Fun facts:
Despite its name, mangosteen and mango are not closely related.
Mangosteen produces dark-purple or red-purple fruit with soft, thick rind on the surface. Flesh consists of 4 to 8 juicy, triangular segments that are white-colored. Each segment contains 1 to 4 seed. Rind and seed are not edible.
Mangosteen is perennial plant that can survive more than 100 years in the wild.
Back in the 1800’s, there was a rumour that Queen Victoria had offered 100 British pounds to anyone who could present her with a mangosteen fruit. A historian offered a 100 dollar reward to anyone who could prove that, before their successful shipment of mangosteen from Trinidad in 1891, the rumour was true.
