The first time we tried Mangosteen was in Borough Market, London. Only a 12 hour flight from where it was probably picked. Not exactly what you would consider as fresh. Despite this the fruit was beautiful and tasted great. Imagine how it tastes when you find it in an Asian market.

Mangosteen is part of a very interesting family that includes other edible fruits. One of them is the Kokum (an Indian ingredient) that has made it’s way into the alcohol industry as an addition to cocktails. Another one is the Achachairu sometimes known as the Bolivian Mangosteen. We tried that in the markets of Santa Cruz de las Sierras after realizing that we missed the main season by a month. Thankfully there were still some left and it was as expected. DELICIOUS.

The Exotic Fruits Collection celebrates a variety of edible ingredients predominantly found in the markets of Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australasia. Why not add this premium cushion to your kitchen space.
