mmmm.... MangosteensThis is a wonderfully delicious fruit to which we have just recently been introduced. It is hard to describe just how incredibly delicious this particular treat tastes.
The outside purple rind is very hard and firm - but not too firm. If it is rock hard, then it has gone bad inside (producing something that resembles alien spoors). If it gives just slightly, then it is ready. Inside the rind are soft white pulps that are divided into sections like an orange, but without the pith. These are moist pieces of goodness. We acknowledge that these descriptions don't really tell you much about the taste, but the English language does not seem equipped with the proper language, so you will just have to come visit and try one to fully understand what we are talking about.
They are definitely in the top five best fruits of all time.

ooo! it looks sort of like the cherimoyas i had in ecuador. they were green on the outside, but had similar white, sections of yummy-ness. those were very tasty.
Aren't these one of the fruits banned in the US?
Enjoy them while you can!

unfortuntately i think they might be banned in the US, something to do with the bugs that hide in/on them. Have you seen them in Canada? While looking for info I came across this description "looks a bit like garlic cloves that hid in a plum" - Yes! so true!
I haven't seen them ... but I do believe they can be found in some Canadian cities (like Vancouver).
Enjoy!
