A whole purple mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana) and the cross-section of another. The fruit is sweet and tangy, juicy, and somewhat fibrous, with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. The evergreen mangosteen tree is believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas of Indonesia.Photo: S. Masters
