Mangosteen for $6.99 lb at Buford Highway Farmer’s Market this week
These were a bit on the over-ripe side giving them a very soft texture. But, this only added to their sweetness. They basically melted in our mouths and tasted of liquid sugar with a peachy tropical note and a barely-there tarty tang.
The Negative:
The flesh of each segment clings to one pit per segment (some are very small and others are the size of a large lima bean). The large ones are a stringy, unpleasant mess to extract from your mouth.

I love mangosteens. The last time I had them was in Singapore.
I enjoy your blog and thanks for the link to me.
