According to legend, its name appeared in one of the usual markets in Bangkok. A foreigner buying fruits noticed the mangosteen and asked the vendor what it was called. "Manghat" was the vendor's answer in Thai. Not hearing properly,
покупатель переспросил «Манго?» «Мангхат» - последовал ответ из-за прилавка. Иностранец повторил свой вопрос «Манго?».
Тогда злой уже торговец пробурчал «Манго сон-тин»,

«какой манго,
к черту».
Услышавшей это иностранец воскликнул «А!
Этот фрукт называется мангостин!»

and the feeling of hunger does not make itself felt for a long time ...
NB!
When choosing a mangosteen,
pay attention to the color of the leaves
crowning the top of the fruit – they should be bright green
and not brown.
Brownish leaves indicate that
the mangosteen is overripe and starting to spoil,
so it’s better not to take the risk.
Another sign of a spoiled fruit is an overly hard rind,
like that of a watermelon,
Because a ripe mangosteen is firm and slightly springs back when pressed.
This exotic fruit has one unique feature – if it has rotted, this does not affect its appearance. The only way to check the quality of the fruit is to touch it and carefully examine the leaves, preferring larger fruits to smaller ones, as the latter contain less flesh.
How to clean mangosteen?
There are three simple ways:
* You should remove the leaves from the top and press a little so that the fruit cracks open and release the core. This procedure is easy to perform with a very ripe mangosteen. In this case, particles of the peel may remain under the nails.
* Using a knife, make a circular cut, trying not to touch the segments.
After that, open the fruit with your hands,
and remove the pulp.
* If the skin is hard, cut off the top with a knife,
and do not remove the pulp with your hands,
but eat it with a spoon.
Note that there is a small nub on the bottom,
which can indicate how many segments are inside.
The inside resembles garlic,
но очень сладкая и ароматная. Выбирая мангостин,
надавите на эту пипку.
Если фрукт поддается нажиму,
значит он спелый.
Таким-же образом удобнее чистить мангостин - надавите на пипку и оболочка сама рападется на несколько частей.
Можно есть с косточкой.
Созревший плод упругий и пружинит при легком сдавливании.
Экземпляры с твердой,
как у арбуза,
и сухой кожурой – переспевшие.
Возможно,
они уже начали портиться.
