Dawn breaks over the jungles of Southeast Asia
and begins to burn away the nighttime mists. Although it is early, the street side produce markets in villages and towns throughout the land are already bustling with activity, for today is different. In these tropical climates, most fruits and vegetables are available any time of year, but today the open-air markets are humming with an almost electric anticipation. This only happens twice a year. Every six months. That's the harvest cycle for the fruit prized above all others. The Queen of Fruits! For countless generations, the people of Southeast Asia have valued the mangosteen above all other fruits. These are people intimately acquainted with the plants of the rain forest. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of edible fruits, nuts, stems, and roots. And yet only the mangosteen carries the label The Queen of Fruits.
Why does the mangosteen deserve such a title? Certainly a major reason is the role the mangosteen played in ancient Southeast Asian medicine. Traditionally utilized to control fever and ward off infections of every kind, the whole mangosteen fruit was used and revered.
But the people of early Southeast Asia weren't all that different from us. Yes, they recognized and valued the medicinal benefits of the mangosteen. But what really caught their fancy was the taste! Difficult to describe, yet impossible to forget. |
Mangosteen: Queen of Fruits
Although almost unheard of in the temperate zones of North America and Europe, mangosteen is so prized by inhabitants of tropical rain forests that it is universally known as the Queen of Fruits and the Fruit of the Gods.
About the size of a tangerine, the ripe mangosteen has a smooth, dark purple rind encasing snow-white fruit. Unlike other tropical fruits that are so unusual and obscure that eating them requires an "acquired taste," mangosteen has a sweet, mild flavor that appeals to everyone, beginning with the first bite. 
Limited to tropical zones with abundant rainfall, the mangosteen tree takes 10 years to mature and bear fruit. Fully mature trees can be up to 80 feet tall, and may produce thousands of individual fruits each year.
In Southeast Asia, where the mangosteen is predominantly grown, the people value this exceptional fruit for its premium taste and heavenly flavor. In fact, when Queen Victoria tasted this imported delicacy in the mid-1800s, she promptly declared it her favorite fruit.
Although readily available in season throughout Southeast Asia, until now the mangosteen fruit in its whole form has never been commercially available in North America.

Many people wonder why all of this good information about the quantity and the quality of the phytonutrients in the mangosteen fruit, and indeed why the fruit itself, is “all of a sudden” being made available in this country and in other Northern Hemisphere countries?
The simple answer is that the fruit doesn't travel well and though the health benefits have been used for centuries in Southeast Asia, it has taken the discovery, the far- reaching impact, and the right team of people and companies to make it commercially available in a delicious blend, as has now been made available.
As you explore the magic of this botanical, you will be amazed at the hundreds of research papers and laboratory studies from around the globe! XanGo International offers the timing of “first mover advantage”. When you are the category creator and leader, it is hard for anyone to catch up.
