The mangosteen fruit or scientific name garcinia mangostana.
Whats more interesting is what this fruit is capable of. With centuries of folk law, the people in Thailand and other places South Asia grind the fruit up to make medicine out of the pericarp of the fruit. It is even linked to Queen Victoria who was also interested in the folk law behind the fruit and its taste. She even called it 'The Queen of Fruits'.
Centuries on there has been decades of scientific research done on the mangosteen fruit that you can even locate on the internet. Scientific papers show that there over 17000 anti-oxidants in the fruit. Well thats a lot considering most fruits have less than 3000 anti-oxidants.
This fruit has been discovered to help a number of illnesses and diseases. The company XanGo have taken the fruit and made it into an health beverage. I reckon in the next 3 years everyone will have heard of XanGo!
