Taste Profile

Origin & Sourcing

Where It Begins

In the humid groves of Indonesia, this fruit grows all year round. Not on vast plantations, but across 500 small family farms, each caring for just 5 to 50 trees. These are living orchards, often passed down through generations.

How It’s Grown

Our farmers follow ancestral methods, on land that has never been treated with pesticides or herbicides. Because these are micro-farms, they’ve remained untouched by industrial agriculture.

How It Reaches You

Harvested at peak ripeness, the fruit is carefully sorted and shipped by air. No long cold storage. No chemical preservation. Just a direct journey from grove to you, preserving freshness, aroma, and vitality within days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the health benefits of mangosteen?

Mangosteen is well known for its antioxidants. These include vitamin C, manganese and, above all, its xanthones. The latter has been the subject of recent studies, revealing numerous properties. It is said to have an anti-inflammatory effect, have anti-ageing properties, help combat diabetes and even fight cancer. However, further studies are needed to confirm these results.

Mangosteen is also interesting for the fiber it contains; which contributes to a healthy gut and weight regulation. It also provides you with copper. This mineral is involved in the production of energy and connective tissue, and in the maintenance of the immune and nervous systems. Finally, mangosteen is a source of vitamin B9 (folates). This is essential for healthy metabolic function.

Why is the mangosteen so expensive?

There are several reasons why mangosteen is a rather expensive exotic fruit.

It is a very demanding fruit in terms of climate. It only grows in ultra-tropical zones within 20° latitude of the equator. It is also difficult in terms of altitude, rainfall and humidity levels. In short, you can't grow it just anywhere!
A tree produces fruit after 6 to 8 years, and yields a good crop every 2nd or 3rd year.
It doesn't ripen after harvesting, and is fragile. To be good, mangosteen must be eaten fresh, 5 to 15 days after picking.
Our growers carry out a meticulous quality sorting and cleaning of each mangosteen individually. This is for 2 reasons:
the slightest bump or hard spot on the shell can be a sign of quality that will deteriorate rapidly, so the fruit must be discarded.
No fruit can travel from Asia to Europe with traces of insects. Mealybugs, ants (which love to nest under the sepals of the mangosteen) etc.., so they must be removed from the fruit by cleaning with a brush and compressed air.

Now, in relation to the pleasure (it's considered one of the best fruits on earth) and the benefits (its famous xanthones, for example) it brings, the price of the mangosteen is fair, making it one of our best-selling fruits. What's more, by ordering our mangosteen in larger quantities (whole case), you benefit from a significant discount, enabling you to enjoy all its benefits at the lowest price.

What does the mangosteen taste like?

The flesh of the mangosteen is sweet and melt-in-your-mouth, with a touch of brightness that's unmistakable. Some describe its taste as a blend of lychee, peach, strawberry and pineapple. It's one of the most popular exotic fruits.

How can you tell if a mangosteen is ripe?

You can eat it as soon as you receive it! It's picked just when it's ripe, because it doesn't ripen any more once harvested.

How to eat a mangosteen?

Open it by pressing it between your fingers to split the soft shell.

You can also slit the soft shell with a knife (about 1 cm deep) by cutting around, then bite directly into the white fleshy sections, or use a small spoon.

How to prepare the mangosteen?

The mangosteen is delicious on its own. You can also add it to a fruit salad, sorbet or fruit juice. You can even add it to a savory salad for a sweet and sour note. If you have a dehydrator at home, you can also eat it dried, it's exquisite.

Are mangosteen pits edible?

Mangosteen pits are edible, and you can munch on them with the surrounding white pulp if you like the nutty flavor.

Is the yellow on the flesh edible?

Yes, but it's bitter. Better to remove it. It's sap from the tree that penetrates certain fruits.

When is the mangosteen season?

In Thailand, the mangosteen ripens from May to September. Indonesia is a vast archipelago made up of numerous islands on either side of the equator. These islands have different seasons, enabling us to offer you Indonesian mangosteen all year round.
