2. Mangosteen is too old: Mangosteen is stored for a long time and its shell is easily air-dried, which will make the water in its shell lose and never harden.
2 Can hard mangosteen be eaten? The pulp is edible without spoilage.
The shell of mangosteen that is not fully mature will be hard, which can be eaten as long as it is cooked or accelerated. The mangosteen whose shell is air-dried and hardened can also be eaten without deterioration and decay of the pulp. However, the moisture and nutritional value of this mangosteen which has been air-dried for a long time have been lost, and its taste will not be so good.
3 How to preserve mangosteen It is best to store it in cold storage. Fresh mangosteen is packed in plastic bags and then stored in the refrigerator. Low temperature can keep mangosteen fresh and inhibit bacterial growth.
Sealed preservation: seal mangosteen in a fresh-keeping bag or box, and then put it in a low temperature place, preferably in a cellar. This can effectively isolate oxygen, thus prolonging the preservation time of mangosteen.
4 Precautions for Eating Mangosteen It is not advisable to eat more mangosteen, which is rich in cellulose. If you eat too much, it will lead to an increase in cellulose content in the body, and these cellulose will absorb water and swell in the stomach, which is prone to constipation.
It is not suitable to eat mangosteen with cold foods. Mangosteen itself is a cold fruit. If it is eaten with other cold foods such as watermelon, bitter gourd and mung bean, it will lead to an increase in cold in the body, which will cause physical discomfort. Therefore, when eating mangosteen, try to avoid eating other cold foods.
Diabetic patients eat mangosteen carefully, which contains a lot of sugar. If diabetic patients eat mangosteen, their blood sugar will rise, which will affect their health. Therefore, diabetic patients should be careful to eat mangosteen.
