Mangosteen

A fruit, native to East India and Asia, which has a dark red rind and a delicious milky juice. Inside, this fruit typically has 4 to 8 sections containing meat that can be easily scooped out with a spoon to be eaten while the seeds are discarded. To prepare, either slice off the top stem to scoop out the meat or cut the fruit in half, removing the seeds and scoop out the flesh. The fruit has a slightly tart but sweet and delicious tasting meat that can be served as a snack or added to fruit salads.
