I had one today and it tasted quite like a mango ....this set me off thinking that it might be the same fruit with a different name.

The rind is 1/4 to 3/8 in (6-10 mm) thick, red in cross-section, purplish-white on the inside. It contains bitter yellow latex and a purple, staining juice. There are 4 to 8 triangular segments of snow-white, juicy, soft flesh (actually the arils of the seeds). The fruit may be seedless or have 1 to 5 fully developed seeds, ovoid-oblong, somewhat flattened, 1 in (2.5 cm) long and 5/8 in (1.6 cm) wide, that cling to the flesh. The flesh is slightly acid and mild to distinctly acid in flavor and is acclaimed as exquisitely luscious and delicious.

Question: Why are mangosteen fruit so expensive? I have been researching this fruit. The US just lifted a ban for import into the country. Growers are charging $11 for one tangerine size fruit. $46 for a pound. If this fruit is that expensive, do you think it has great value?

Answer: I'm a Malaysian too... yes the price over here is cheap. But the price that you've stated is really expensive. For your information we malaysians ourselves don't get to eat mangosteen all year long because it is a seasonal fruit. You can the fruit only in second quarter of the year. It is same as the "durians". Compared to other fruits which you can get easily over here, mangosteen is considered expensive over here as well. Mangosteens are expensive in your place maybe is because it's seasonal and it is imported. Just like the imported fruits over here which is really expensive. The oranges and apples we can get it in any fruit hawkers and you can get it at RM5 / 10-12 pieces. But the strawberries, kiwi's, apricots, peaches and all other berry varieties will cost at least RM5 fruit or RM20++ per box of berries which consist of not more than 15-20 pieces. I hope my answer has given you a good explanation... Just feel free to ask more if you have any doubts...
