Where is mangosteen produced?

The main producing areas of mangosteen: It is widely cultivated in tropical regions of Asia and Africa; it is also introduced or trial-planted in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan in my country.

Mangosteen is native to the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago, and is widely cultivated in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Myanmar.

Mangosteen is a summer fruit. The fruit matures from May to October, with the highest yield from August to October.

May to September is the peak season for mangosteen, and you should choose medium to small ones.

Why is mangosteen so expensive?

1. Scarcity makes things valuable: The domestic planting area of ​​mangosteen is not large at present. It is mainly planted in Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan. The national output is very low. If it is in the place of origin, it may be much cheaper, but if it is to be purchased in other places, freight and other costs will usually be added, so it will be much more expensive. If it is imported from abroad, it will be even more expensive.

2. High planting costs: The costs of planting and management are relatively high. For example, in terms of planting, amino acids are needed as fertilizers, so some fruit farmers may use fish and shrimp fermentation to obtain amino acids, and then fertilize the mangosteen. This will result in a much higher yield and help it bear fruit earlier. Therefore, the cost is high, and the selling price will of course be much higher.

3. High nutritional value: Mangosteen contains a variety of nutrients, such as soluble solids, citric acid, multiple vitamins and minerals, and is rich in protein, sugar and lipids.

What is the reason for Mangosteen's glass heart?

1. Transportation damage: Generally, mangosteen can easily suffer mechanical damage during the process of picking and transportation, which may cause the mangosteen to become fragile.

2. Frostbite caused by ice: Mangosteen is usually transported with ice cubes, mainly to preserve freshness and extend the shelf life. However, if the mangosteen is frozen with ice cubes for a long time, it is likely to be frozen, causing the mangosteen to become fragile.

3. Planting environment: Mangosteen is a sweet fruit that prefers high temperature and dry environment. If it is planted in an environment with more rain, the mangosteen grown may develop a glass heart. Such mangosteen will be less sweet and of lower quality.
