| The range of products that contain mangosteen varies greatly. |
Soap containing mangosteen is a popular product. The price varies from 25 to 50 baht. |
Like every summer, fruit stalls are filled with vibrant colours - green durians, red sweet rambutans and deep-purple mangosteens. If the durian is known as the "King of Fruits" then the mangosteen should be dubbed the "Queen of Fruits". To keep a balanced diet, the light sweet flesh of mangosteen is recommended. Though the white interior may satisfy eaters' taste buds, it is the dark-purple rind that contains most of the fruit's nutritional benefits. The main element is xanthones, a powerful anti-oxidant, which is believed to strengthen the immune system, neutralise free radicals that cause ageing, maintain intestinal health, assist cartilage and joint functioning and regulate the respiratory system, among other things.
