If the shell is too hard, even if you press it hard, it will not make the epidermis sag, which means that the mangosteen has lost too much water and cannot be eaten. If the shell is soft and elastic, it means mangosteen is fresh and suitable for eating. You can also choose by observing the color of the pedicel and shell of the fruit. The pedicel of fresh mangosteen is green, and the shell is bright and shiny.
