How to distinguish the quality of mangosteen

Mangosteen has always been a relatively expensive fruit in the domestic market, but it is rich in nutrition and tastes delicious, so many people still like to buy it. However, some people don’t know how to choose when buying mangosteen, and often buy bad mangosteen, which makes them very depressed. So how to distinguish the quality of mangosteen? Today, the editor will give you a few tips to help you easily distinguish the quality of mangosteen.

How to distinguish the quality of mangosteen

1. Look at the appearance of mangosteen

When buying mangosteen, you can tell whether it is good or bad by its appearance. It is best to first check whether its fruit diameter is green. If it is green, it means that the mangosteen is relatively fresh. Then pinch its shell with your hands. The softer it feels, the better. This means that its peel is thin and the flesh is rich. If the peel of the mangosteen is too hard, it means that the mangosteen is old and no longer suitable for human consumption.

2. Look at the flesh of mangosteen

The quality of mangosteen can also be determined by its flesh. If the mangosteen flesh turns yellow, or there is yellow juice between the flesh, it means that the mangosteen is bad. Its flesh has deteriorated and it has a sour and smelly smell if you smell it carefully. Such mangosteen is absolutely not edible.

3. Look at the tail of the mangosteen

When you buy mangosteen, you can look at its tail, which is the part with the fruit stem. After removing the leaves, you can see how many petals it has. The number of petals in this place indicates the number of petals in the flesh of the mangosteen. The mangosteen with seven to eight petals is of the best quality. They have large amount of juice, no core, and taste the best.
