Forbidden Fruit May Not Be For Long
August 10th, 2006 by atari
Most people have never heard of the Mangosteen. Mango..wha?, they ask. Or they think it’s just a mini-mango.
Well, wrong. After having lived in Southeast Asia for a considerable amount of time, this came to be one of my favorite fruits. It’s hard to compare its taste to something available here, but it has a fairly sweet and delicate flavor—perhaps a cross between a banana and a lychee, but not quite. The fruit divides up into white sections, and there is a large, dark pit inside of each one. Also, beware, because the inside of the skin has an ink-type quailty and it can stain.
Several years back, the NYTimes ran an article about the wonders of the mangosteen and detailed that it had been banned in the US due to tropical fruit fly restrictions. I was in Asia at the time, but was truly dismayed to find this out. Now the Times is reporting that farmers are starting to grow mangosteens in the Carribean, from where they can be legally imported to the States. Either that or you’ll have to find smuggled mangosteens from Canada (reportedly available in various Chinatowns). I’m telling you, it’s worth it. Hopefully soon you’ll be able to see for yourself.

mmmmm… mangosteen. It sounds alot like the durian, which is available in super 88s and farmers markets throughout boston. Although, the steen’s lack of a prickly shell or strong odor would make it a good contender for the king of fruits.

yeah, and it’s also a LOT smaller than durian…

I miss mangosteen, I’ll have to wait until I am back in Asia in October, or else find a market in California that sells the Caribbean mangosteen.
