Mangosteens

My favorite fruit in the whole wide world is a mangosteen. The first time I had it was in Bali and I always look for it when I'm in Asia. In Vietnam, we found it again.

 

 

When the mangosteen is ripe, simply squeeze the fruit and the shell cracks open. Inside you'll find sweet white segments that are absolutelly delicious. It's known as the "Queen of Fruit." I have yet to try the "King of Fruit"--the Durian and I doubt I ever will.
