Mangosteen

Mangosteen

　　　　Also known as mangosteen, it is a tropical medium-sized tree, and its fruit is hailed as the “Queen of Tropical Fruits,” being one of the most popular fruits among mainlanders. (Haikou)

　　The flesh of the mangosteen contains 16.8% soluble solids, 0.63% citric acid, as well as other vitamins B1, B2, C4 and minerals, providing heat-reducing and fever-cooling benefits. Therefore, not only is mangosteen delicious, but it also helps to clear internal heat and counteract the fiery nature of durian.

　　Mangosteen is a cooling fruit, so those with a cold constitution should eat it sparingly and avoid overconsumption. It should not be eaten together with other cooling foods such as watermelon, soy milk, beer, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, bitter melon, winter melon, or lotus leaf soup. If consumed in excess by accident, it can be remedied by drinking ginger tea sweetened with brown sugar.
