I have purple mangosteen to accompany my lunch. This tropical fruit is quite famous. Taste delicious. If you see a little flower at the bottom, that is the indicator how many pieces inside. If that little flower has 5 leaves, then inside this fruit will have 5 pieces. Some people use it for gambling. They cover that little flower with mud, then gamblers have to guess how many pieces inside. Now, this kind of gambling is forbidden in Indonesia because we don’t allow any kind of gambling.
Nowadays, people juice purple mangosteen skin for healthy drink. You can search more information about it.

I like mangosteen also but not so easy to buy in the small community market we have…
Really? You are in Philippines right if I am not mistaken. I thought this tropical fruit would be east to find in south east asia.
