Legend even has it that Queen Victoria offered knighthood to any subject who could bring her a Mangosteen fruit in prime condition. Sadly, no one succeeded in delivering the Mangosteen. According to the legend, the virtual impossibility of preserving the fruit during the weeks-long journey prohibited anyone outside of the growing regions from enjoying the sensational flavor of the Mangosteen. But, some have suggested that thanks to the Queen’s admirable quest, the fruit achieved the heralded title, “Queen of Fruits,” a name still used by Mangosteen adorers around the globe.


Although, available in cans and frozen, Mangosteens are rarely sold fresh in Western countries except in some Asian grocery stores. Beginning in 2007 for the first time, fresh Mangosteens are also being sold for as high as $45 per pound from specialty produce stores in New York City. Products derived from the Mangosteen are legally imported into the United States, such as juices, freeze-dried fruit and nutritional supplements.


Over recent years, Mangosteen has had increasing growth as a fresh dessert delicacy in gourmet restaurants and as a popular base for mixed juices usually called “mangosteen juice” by a variety of manufacturers. It has often been included in the functional food industry among recent discussions about “superfruits”. Although a superfruit category has not been defined scientifically, it presumably would involve fruits not only with appealing taste but also characteristics of 1) high nutrient density, 2) superior antioxidant quality, and/or 3) potential health benefits.

The whole Mangosteen fruit, as found in XanGo®, is the sourse of dozens of different Xanthones. Scientific research has shown xanthones possess potent antioxidant properties that may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system.(www.xango.net)
