1, fresh mangosteen will crack when squeezed by hand. Mangosteen that is too hard is dead, but it is not fresh and cannot be eaten. 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.

2. After buying mangosteen, first pick off the leaves on mangosteen, and the pulp will be exposed at the top. Cut it down along the gap between two petals of pulp with a kitchen knife, and cut the peel to peel it off, like this one with no pulp exposed. Take a knife and cut it gently on one side. Be careful not to cut the pulp. Then break the peel from the cut hole, and finally take out the whole pulp. Be careful not to touch the purple water on the skin, otherwise the taste will be astringent.
