1. Wash the mangosteen you just bought with clean water.
2. Squeeze mangosteen inward with both hands. In the process of picking, there will be a crack in the waist of fresh mangosteen. Open mangosteen from the side along the crack, and all the fresh and juicy pulp will be exposed.
3. Finally, take out the pulp completely from the open mouth, and be careful not to touch the purple juice when taking it out, and you can eat it.
Method of selecting mangosteen
1 First look at the color of mangosteen leaves (pedicels). The greener the pedicel, the fresher it will be, which is the key to judge whether mangosteen is fresh or not.
2. There is a petal at the bottom of each mangosteen fruit, which is a key to judge whether the mangosteen fruit pulp is delicious, because the number of petals at the bottom of each mangosteen fruit is different, which represents the number of petals in the pulp.
3. Pinch the mangosteen shell by hand. The hardness of the shell is also a key to judge whether mangosteen is fresh or not. Although the mangosteen shell is thick, the fresh and mature mangosteen shell is very elastic and can bounce back quickly with a little press.
4. Choosing mangosteen depends on whether there is yellow substance on the head of mangosteen. If so, you'd better not buy it.
