Many people like to consume mangosteen fruit because of its health benefits. Let’s study about the fruit itself a little bit. Mangosteen is believed to be originated from the Southeast Asia. It dislikes cold weather, thus it is not well know in the Western countries only until recently. Mangosteen trees grow slowly and typically they need 10 years before they produce mangosteen fruits. The fruit itself is around 2 or 3 inches in diameter and purple in color. The inner fruit is delicate and white in color. The main source to the health properties of the fruit is its shell. It is bitter and has permanent purple dye, but it is also rich in xanthones, which can slow down the aging process and repair damaged cells.
