Mangosteen can be eaten raw, juiced, made into salads, canned and so on. Mangosteen peel tastes bitter, so it is necessary to prevent the peel juice from being dyed on the meat flap when peeling, so as not to affect the taste.

Mangosteen pulp is rich in dietary fiber, sugar, vitamins and mineral elements such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. It has a good nourishing effect on the body, and has a good recuperating effect on weakness, illness and malnutrition.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire and beautifying skin. For people who usually like spicy food, have a strong liver fire and have poor skin, eating mangosteen often can clear away heat and detoxify and improve their skin. Those with deficiency and cold constitution should not eat more.
