How to distinguish fresh mangosteen from fresh

This kind of tropical fruit is only found in the southern tropical regions of China. Most mangosteens are imported from Southeast Asian countries and need to be transported over long distances.

How to distinguish fresh mangosteen from fresh

1. To distinguish whether mangosteen is fresh or not, you can first look at the leaves at the bottom of the mangosteen. If you find that the leaves at the bottom of the mangosteen are relatively green, it means that the mangosteen is relatively fresh. If you find that the leaves of the mangosteen have turned brown or black, it means that the mangosteen is no longer fresh.

2. To distinguish whether the mangosteen is fresh or not, you can also pinch the shell of the mangosteen. The shell of the mangosteen will lose moisture and become hard after being stored for a long time. So when people pinch the shell of the mangosteen with their hands, if it feels hard and cannot be pinched, it means it is no longer fresh. If the shell of the mangosteen feels slightly elastic, can be pinched by hand, and can quickly return to its original shape, it means that the mangosteen is relatively fresh.

3. The skin color is also an important basis for people to distinguish whether mangosteen is fresh or not. The skin color of fresh mangosteen is purple-red, while the skin color of stale mangosteen is close to black. Some stale mangosteens have a lot of spots on their skin, so it is not recommended to buy and eat such mangosteens.

4. The color of mangosteen flesh is also an important basis for people to distinguish whether mangosteen is fresh or not. The flesh of fresh and good quality mangosteen is white and tastes sweet, while the flesh of stale mangosteen is a little yellow in color and has a sour smell when eaten.

The above introduces some methods and techniques to distinguish whether mangosteen is fresh or not, so that everyone can know how to distinguish whether mangosteen is fresh or not. When you buy mangosteen in the future, you must follow these correct methods to distinguish it, so as to avoid buying stale mangosteen.
