It was the first time I had seen so much mangosteens!
Believe it or not, it's the first time I ate it too! I've eaten many durians (king of fruits) before but never mangosteens.
I didn't know that they look like a flower when opened up. Pretty! Worthy of the name Queen of fruits! :)
Some notes about Mangosteen:
- Very low in calories. Contains no saturated fats or cholesterol, but rich in dietary fiber which can be very important for people who are concerned about putting on excess body weight.
- Good in vitamin C. Vitamin-C is a powerful water soluble anti-oxidant. Consumption of fruits rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against flu-like infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.
- Fresh fruit is a very good source of B-complex vitamins such as thiamin, niacin and folates. These vitamins are acting as cofactors help body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
- A very good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese and magnesium. Potassium in an important component of cell and body fluids helps control heart rate and blood pressure; thus offers protection against stroke and coronary heart diseases
- Helps to overcome Allergies, Arthritis, Back Pain, Diabetes, Migraines, Fibromyalga, Chronic Fatigue, Low Energy Levels, Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
- Known to work well as an antidepressant, it has a strong antiviral effect.
- Helps to heal ulcers, lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure.
