The inside of the mangosteen is yellow, which is normal.

Many mangosteens will have some yellow mucus on their surface, which is a substance secreted by the fruit itself. This is generally because the mangosteens were damaged during the picking process, or the fruit was damaged or squeezed during transportation, or it was As the mangosteen grows, it secretes some yellow sap to protect its pulp.

So when you eat mangosteens in the future, if you encounter those with yellow pulp, you must not throw them away blindly, because such mangosteens are not broken, and secondly, the price of mangosteens is still the same. It's quite expensive, so it's not worth throwing it away.

Morphological characteristics of mangosteen:

Small tree, 12-20 meters high, with many and dense branches, alternate and opposite, and small branches with obvious longitudinal ribs.

There are as many as 40 or 50 pairs, connected within the edges; the petioles are thick, about 2 cm long, and have dense transverse wrinkles when dry.

The male flowers are clustered in 2-9 clusters at the top of the branches, the pedicels are short, the stamens form 4 bunches, and the pistils are conical; the female flowers are solitary or in pairs, borne on the top of the branches, slightly larger than the male flowers, 4.5-4.5 in diameter. 5 cm, pedicel 1.2 cm long; ovary 58-chambered, style almost absent, stigma 5-6 deeply divided.
