Don't throw away the skin it's very nutritious too. The dried skin is used in daily cooking instead of tamarind in western costal part of state of Maharashtra. It's called as Kokum in local Marathi language there. We also make a drink called as sharbat specially for summer it's called kokum sharbat

I like to add the segments to a spinach salad. Not baby spinach, but the large curly leaf, dark green spinach, with a fig and kumquat vinaigrette. Sooo good!!!!

The parents of twins in my class have a farm and they invited the families of all the classmates to go pick fruit today (mangosteen and rambutan). Wow! They sent me home with a huge bag of them (it must have weighed about 5-6 kilograms: ~12 lbs). I gave away about one-third of them to my neighbours and kept the rest. They're SOOOO good. They're abundant here right now and are priced at about $1.30 USD per kilogram (59 cents per pound).

We have a mangosteen plant at the backyard of our house. It is about fifteen years old. It didn't bear any fruit for about twelve years. Then two years back there was a single fruit. Last year 2-3 fruits and now just about ten to fifteen. They are not yet ripen fully. Some of them are two and a half inches in diameter and started getting yellowish in colour. When can I harvest them? I have not yet tasted this fruit so far. NB: Your video is really good and informative. Thanks a lot.

Good question. For one thing, they do not ripen after they are picked, so hopefully the ones you get are ripe. So the growers to pick them when they are ripe. You will know it is ripe when it feels a bit heavy in your hand for its size, the out peel will be smooth, and purplish red, and it will give a little when pressed with your thumb. If they are unripe they will be super hard.

There is more than one way to do something. Yes, you can open them with your hands with the compression method. This is the most common way here in the West. The farmers in Hawaii that grow them, open it this way. As well as many other people. And don't tell me how and what to teach. If you already know how to eat them, why in the world are you even watching this video? And opening with a knife is a much cleaner method. Just like eating an apple! There is more than ONE way to eat it. Just like many OTHER fruits.
