Mangosteen

Queen of Tropical Fruits.

If you haven't tasted mangosteen yet, you're missing out on one of the most special exotic fruits. Moreover, it is not only ours; the consensus of botanists, explorers, chefs and a few royals!

 

He was a knight

The fame of the mangosteen transported by European colonists from Asia was so widespread that Queen Victoria of England even said that she would knight the hero who brought her one of the "queen of fruits." Mangosteens, which deteriorated until they were transported from Asia to Europe by ship at that time, can reach us safely today thanks to modern technology. The interesting thing is that it is not related to the mango with which it bears a similar name, and its taste and shape do not resemble mango at all.
