1. Look at the color of the pedicel. There are four pedicels between the fruit stalk and the fruit of mangosteen, and the greener indicates the fresher. If the color of the fruit pedicle turns brown or black, it means that the mangosteen has been picked for a long time and stored for a long time, and it is not fresh (indicating that the mangosteen is too old to eat)

2. Look at the soft and hard skin. If there is no obvious difference in the color of the pedicel, you can pinch the mangosteen skin by hand. The fresh and mature mangosteen skin is soft with a little elasticity. The softer it is, the fresher it is, and the skin is thin and fleshy. If you can't make the epidermis sag by squeezing your fingers hard, it means that Mangosteen is too old, or it is not suitable for eating for a long time. As soon as this mangosteen is opened, the pulp inside is basically discolored and broken and can't be eaten. People call this mangosteen "dead bamboo".

3. Look at the bottom of mangosteen. If you want mangosteen pulp, just look at the bottom of mangosteen. The bottom of mangosteen is like a small flower. This small flower has several petals, and there are several petals in the fruit. The average mangosteen has 5 to 6 pulps, and the maximum is 8. The more pieces of pulp, the smaller the stone and the better the quality

4. Look at the color of mangosteen itself. Looking at the external color of mangosteen can also tell whether mangosteen is fresh. Fresh mangosteen looks shiny, while stale mangosteen looks dull.

5, weigh. If you really can't tell the difference between good and bad, you can also take two mangosteen that are almost the same and weigh them. If one is light and one is heavy, then the heavy one is more moist and fresh.
