Mangosteen

This mango relative was once illegal in the U.S.due to a specific breed of fruit fly that is associated with it.Once the ban was lifted, mangosteen prices skyrocketed at specialty stores.But now the fruit, while still a somewhat rare find in the U.S., can be purchased for a more reasonable rate.The dark purple fruit is extremely sweet once the outer layer is peeled away.To peel, simply score the outer part of the fruit and then break the rind into two pieces, revealing the sweet, edible interior.
