It takes 8-15 years for a mangosteen tree to bear fruits, of which why its fruits are deemed special. The rind of the mangosteen is dark purple marked by a yellowish resin.
It is eaten by first gently breaking through the skin around the middle and then pull or lightly twist the shells apart to open. Enclosed within its deep purple shells are elegantly-arranged white, soft and freshly-scented segments of its flesh.
The large polyps contain a seed. The pulps could be simply removed from its shell by hand. They taste delicately sweet and slightly acidic with an after-taste similar to grapes or strawberries.
Mangosteen season in Vietnam lasts around May to August, where three varieties of the fruit are cultivated and harvested, one of which is the doi mangosteen.
