Once the tree starts producing flowers, it will take months before the fruits can be harvested. Mangosteen fruits are round and are purple in color with green clover and stem on top.
The purple shell is both hard and soft at the same time, this is just a protective shell to mangosteen white edible parts! Mangosteen tastes nice and sweet and the taste is oftentimes accompanied by a little bit of sourness.
Unlike durians, mangosteens do not have a strong smell! However, mangosteens are protected by a purple shell which you should beware as it can easily leave color on your cloth. Although mostly washable, the color might be hard to remove as the fruit shell might contain some sap naturally occurring liquid in the fruit with sticky texture.
While it is not difficult to open mangosteen by hand, cutting mangosteens using a knife is the easiest way to enjoy mangosteen.
While you enjoy mangosteens, do you forget that mangosteens contain seeds behind those white flesh and it is best to spit them out smaller seeds can be swallowed.
We personally prefer smaller mangosteens. If you are looking forward to trying out the Thai mangosteens during your next trip then you should know that Mangosteen is a seasonal fruit. If I don't like any mango, how on earth Indian mango would be the best?
Who gives the rank of the tastes? Were they accepted? It is what you like so you said it was the best. I am also blindfolded judging by you by your Indian name as well. Hater, It's a joke. Mangoes originated on the Indian Sub-continent so, in fact, all mangoes are Indian. I mean - jeez - even the Brits had to make chutney just so they could eat Indian mangoes and the Brits Very curious to know the season of Luukjan fruit.
So that I can visit Thailand in Luukjan season. I didn't find it there last time, in March. Any recommendation fruits.
I plan to bring back some for my daughter. We are currently in the UAE. It's a 6 hour flight. Thanks in advance, Ahmed. I think dried fruits are better suited to travel. Dried mango is a favourite, but try to get the no added sugar variety. Also check the regulations regarding the import of fresh fruits. Here in the US there are bins reserved for that very purpose before you even get to immigration and customs. I've found that pineapples travel quite well if not quite fully ripe.
Mangoes, not so much unless you go for green ones. Ngoh, Mung Koot, and Lin Chi should all travel fine as long as you don't crush them.
Always do it carry-on as it seems less like you're trying to smuggle them in and more like you just didn't read the signs. Not that I would advise any of this but I've heard it's possible Are we allowed to take fruit out the country?
But, since you can't take it into most countries, limit the amount to what you can eat on the plane. And you will be tossed out at cruising altitude if any of the fruit is durian Thank you James I will not dare eating a Durian on the plane :- I'll pack some mangoes in my suitcase!
Take care. Dont miss their Mangoes and Lychees Can I send you the photo, to hopefully help identify it? Kindly advise. Please email me via the contact form. Thanks a lot for the information and for sharing Thai name for each fruit good job. Glad it's useful for you. This is my forth visit in Thailand and searched for the sweet guava a lot.
I was really looking at Foodland at Sukhumvit Soi 5 and other areas for the Guava which was very sweet indeed! So now i came to know from your post those guavas were not actually that sweet, instead it was treated with sugar!
I really miss them every time I get back to my home country. This time I will not! I fell for it too. For ages I thought the fruit was that sweet. Now I just eat the standard variety. Enjoy your next trip! So nice yar. Thanx for this post. So helpful and informative. Which one was it? This was so informative and interesting thank you so much for sharing. I have found there another fruit, called jujuba apple infact, it mixes the appearence of a granny Smith apple with the tast of a jujube Some personal comment about the other fruit in your interesting list; watermelon and tangerines I found in Bangkok are very far from the italian ones; and also the guavas are long distance relatives with Southern African guavas guayabas in Mozambique , which are really naturally sweet.
To close, a question: in Singapore I found wonderful juices of a fruit called yuzu, which reminded me of Sicilian tangerines and Sudanese pink grapefruit.
