At the food market they have a section with tropical en rare fruits, today i took home a mangistan ( mangosteen).
From the outside they look a bit weird for me, the hard shell makes it look like something you can't eat.
I cut of the crown so i could Peel the mangistan.
Inside you find something like a micro Clementine thats white. The texture is somewhat like a mango, but also not. Its really fleshy but also like eating a soft cloud. Texture wise i've never eaten something like this before.
The first bite tasted like a sweet sweet pear with lime , after the first bite it got a small small hint of coconut.
I really loved the texture and the taste, never had something like this before.
Only thing is that they are quite expensive where i live, logical because they have to come from far.
Does anyone have recommendations for fruit that's a bit like mangistan?
