Tips for choosing mangosteens

Mangosteen is known as the queen of fruits. It is a delicious and nutritious fruit. After eating it, people can replenish qi and blood and beautify their skin. However, the quality of mangosteen sold on the market is uneven, some are good and some are bad. People must be careful when purchasing. Today I will introduce to you some tips for selecting mangosteen, which can let you know how to judge the quality of mangosteen.

Tips for choosing mangosteen

1. Look at the appearance

When choosing mangosteen, you must first look at its appearance. Many people only look at its size when choosing mangosteen. In fact, this is not quite right. When choosing mangosteen, you must see whether its shape is spherical. Those mangosteens that are spherical and relatively round and large are of better quality, have a high pulp content, and taste sweet.

2. Look at the fruit stem

When mangosteen is sold, it always has a green stem. When people choose mangosteen, they can judge its quality by its stem. Those with green stems are of good quality and are particularly fresh. If you find that its stem has turned yellow or has mold, or even fallen off, it means that the mangosteen is not fresh. Even if it has not deteriorated, a large amount of water has been lost.

3. Look at the shell

When choosing mangosteen, you can also look at the shell of the mangosteen. The shells of good quality and fresh ones are mostly reddish-brown, and they will feel soft when squeezed by hand. If the shell is black in color and feels hard when squeezed by hand, it means that the mangosteen is not fresh and may have deteriorated.

4. Smell

When choosing mangosteen, you can also smell it, because when mangosteen is ripe, it not only has a natural fruity aroma, but also a faint sweetness. If the mangosteen has rotted and deteriorated, the sweetness will turn into the smell of wine or decay. Such mangosteen is not suitable for purchase and consumption.

The above introduces some tips for selecting mangosteen, which can let everyone know how to select good quality mangosteen. When you buy edible mangosteen in the future, you can choose according to the methods introduced above, so that everyone can easily select fresh and high-quality mangosteen.
