The mangosteen pulp becomes transparent, which is probably caused by frostbite. Because mangosteen itself is a fruit containing a lot of sugar, it will damage tissues and cells after being stored for a long time in a low temperature environment, so the sugar in the pulp will precipitate, so the pulp will be translucent or transparent, so the mangosteen pulp is not broken and can be eaten normally.
The most intuitive place is the skin of mangosteen. If the skin color of mangosteen is dark black, it means that mangosteen is not fresh, and the probability of mangosteen being bad will be greater. Secondly, touch the hardness of mangosteen by hand. Generally, fresh mangosteen is full of water, and the red skin is not particularly hard. It can be easily pressed out with a gentle hand press, but the damaged or stale mangosteen is very hard because the water has been lost.
Skills of selecting mangosteen
Summer is the best season to eat mangosteen. It is delicious to buy mangosteen at this time, which is freshly picked in the season. Generally, there will be no mangosteen frozen for a long time. There are many people who can buy mangosteen, but there are also many people who can't pick mangosteen. First of all, when you choose mangosteen, you should see whether the fruit base of mangosteen is greener.
If you mean freshly picked, it's fresh and delicious. In most cases, there will be no bad fruit in the pulp. On the contrary, the fruit pedicle is yellow, wrinkled and flat, which is the mangosteen that has been refrigerated for a long time. Often such mangosteen merchants will sell them at special prices, so don't buy them any more.
When we choose mangosteen, the bigger the better, depending on how many petals are at the bottom. If we want to pick thick and fleshy mangosteen, we should count the number of petals. Generally speaking, there are at least 5 or 8 mangosteen petals matured from the plate.
