In recent years, Mangosteen has come to be known as the 'Amazing Fruit' because of its health benefits. This delicious fruit is loaded with a high amount of antioxidants like Xanthone, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Antioxidants are substances that neutralize damaging free radicals in the body and helps prevent aging. Aside from its health benefits, Mangosteen is also a part of Davao City’s popular fruit trio --- Durian, Pomelo and Mangosteen. The Mangosteen's deep purple color and sweet white flesh or pulp makes it a must-buy during peak season. At Php 35-50/kilo, one can enjoy 7-8 medium-sized fruits already. During off season, prices soar up to P500-750/kilo, a testament to its popularity. Thus, savoring it would be expensive. Capsulized, juiced or fresh, Mangosteen is truly one amazing fruit!
