How to choose mangosteen persimmons

If the leaves are bright and green in color, it means that such mangosteen is relatively fresh, contains much water, the flesh is tender, and tastes sweeter, so you can buy it without fear. If you find that the leaves on the top have turned yellow or even black, it means that the mangosteen has not been fresh or put in for a very long time, so you should not buy it.
