The Philippines has an abundance of delicious, tropical fruits that also have medicinal value. One of them is the mangosteen, also deemed "the queen of fruits." Mangosteen is rich in antioxidants, including xanthones, which are believed to help fight cancer. The mangosteen fruit has a dark purple skin, and inside are white pulps that are sweet, tangy and melt-in-your-mouth yummy.
Harvest season is from August to October; it's not that easy to buy. However, there are some mangosteen products available year-round, including juice, jam, tea and health supplements. Of course, the real fruit is still the best!
