The fruit of the gods
Mangosteen is an exotic tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, known for the thick purple rind protecting its juicy, fragrant white flesh. Its flavour balances sweet and tart, with notes of peach, strawberry and vanilla.
In Chiapas, the warm, humid climate of Soconusco provides ideal growing conditions. It is a highly prized fruit, both for its flavour and for its xanthones, natural compounds with antioxidant properties.
