Order Mangosteen Tropical Fruit Box in the UK

Indulge in the exotic delight of mangosteen, often hailed as the “Queen of Fruits.” Our premium Mangosteen Tropical Fruit Box is now available for delivery across the UK, bringing you this rare and highly sought-after fruit straight to your doorstep.

Each mangosteen typically measures between five and seven centimetres in diameter, about the size of a tangerine. Its thick, leathery, burgundy shell encases five to six triangular segments of soft, juicy white flesh. Some segments contain small, flat seeds, while others are entirely seedless. The number of segments inside corresponds to the number of rounded, woody lobes on the exterior apex of the fruit.

What Does Mangosteen Taste Like?

Mangosteen boasts a sweet yet slightly tangy flavour with subtle notes of lychee, peach, strawberry, pineapple, and even hints of caramel or butter. This unique combination makes it one of the most prized tropical fruits. You can typically find fresh mangosteens from early summer to early winter.

Where Does Mangosteen Come From?

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is primarily grown in Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Burma, and the Philippines. Thailand dominates the export market, but mangosteens are also cultivated in parts of northern Australia, southern India, and certain regions in Central America and the Caribbean.

Although mangosteen is not grown commercially in the UK, it is now imported and available for purchase from specialist exotic fruit retailers. Our supply comes from trusted growers, ensuring the freshest quality fruit for our UK customers.

Health Benefits of Mangosteen

Mangosteen is renowned for its potential health benefits. It is rich in fibre, essential vitamins, and minerals while also containing xanthones—powerful plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some potential benefits of mangosteen include:

• Supporting immune health
• Aiding digestion and gut health
• Contributing to healthy skin
• Potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects

While more research is needed, mangosteen has been traditionally used in natural medicine to support overall well-being.

How to Eat Mangosteen

Mangosteens are best enjoyed fresh. To open the fruit, gently press or score the thick rind with a knife, then twist it open to reveal the delicate, juicy flesh inside. Be mindful of the purple juice from the shell, which can stain surfaces. Mangosteen can be eaten as is or incorporated into smoothies, fruit salads, or desserts.

In certain regions of Asia, mangosteens are also used in savoury dishes, particularly in curries. They pair well with ingredients like citrus, banana, kiwi, watermelon, vanilla, and even butter.

Storage & Shelf Life

Mangosteen is highly perishable. When stored at 10°C (a slightly warmer setting than a standard fridge), they can last for a couple of weeks. At room temperature, they should be consumed within a few days to enjoy their full flavour and texture.
