1, Kanshan bamboo leaf petals
First of all, we should look at the color of the petals (pedicels) of mangosteen. The greener the pedicels, the fresher they will be, which is the key to judge whether mangosteen is fresh or not. Fruit growers always keep certain pedicels when harvesting mangosteen. If the pedicels are still fresh and green, it means that this batch of mangosteen has just been picked, fresh and sweet, and its meat quality is good. If the fruit base has turned yellow and become somewhat withered, it proves that mangosteen is not fresh.
2. Knead by hand
Pinch the mangosteen shell by hand. The hardness of the shell is also a key to judge whether the mangosteen is fresh or not. Although mangosteen has a thick shell, the fresh and mature mangosteen shell is very elastic, and it can bounce back quickly with a little press. However, if it is particularly hard to press, it is because the mangosteen shell has been dehydrated for a long time and hardened. This mangosteen is either too old or too long.
Mangosteen varieties:
1, oil bamboo fruit. The color of the fruit skin is generally black, and the pulp is not obviously different from other mangosteen, but it can be regarded as a high-quality mangosteen fruit. At present, China's oil bamboo fruit is mainly imported, its main producing area is Thailand, and it is also a super fruit in mangosteen.
2, flowers and bamboos. Flower bamboo fruit is the most common variety in the market at present, and the mangosteen usually purchased is basically flower bamboo fruit. The handle of the flower bamboo fruit is reddish, but the surface of the fruit is red and brownish, which looks very attractive. After the flower bamboo fruit is opened, the fruit is very beautiful petal-shaped, the flesh is full, delicate and smooth, and the juice is full.
