FRUITY FRIDAY : MANGGIS

Several days ago, my friend brought us a bag that full of  'manggis'.
We ate these fruits together.


Manggis or purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a popular tropical fruit.
The fruit is ready almost all year round. 
But the peak of the harvesting season is during the rainy season.


I really love the white, sweet and tasty flesh.
The flesh is high on vitamin C, mineral, and folic acid.


The juicy thick skin like as a coconut shell is a popular as medicinal stuff.
It contains high antioxidant.
Here, we often make juice from these fruit shells.
Some time, the shell will be dried as herbal tea.
Thanks friend for sharing this wonderful fruit.
