Where to buy mangosteen

[christianpfc]

I once saw a Thai fruit calendar, but forgot where it was. It had the months of the year with fruits that are in season in that month.

Tamarind has disappeared, I saw the first noina (cinnamon apple) this year.

Here is an article how to open mangosteen:

I used to do it from the other side (the stem with the green leaves), then I did like they show it on the market, will try the method in the article as well.

Useless information I read elsewhere on the internet (forget where): When you look at the side opposite the stem, it looks like a small brown flower. The number of petals of the flower is equivalent the number of segments in the mangosteen. I counted for about 50, it was always true. About 90% have 6 petals/segments, 5% have 5, 5% have 7.
