Why You Should Buy Mangosteen Juice

If you looking for something new in you diet that is highly beneficial then I want to tell you why you should buy mangosteen juice.

 Have you ever been in a situation where you say something and people who haven’t heard what you are talking about try to correct you? The mangosteen is one of them!

Since I started drinking mangosteen juice I have mentioned it to a number of people and nearly every time they have said, “Don’t you mean mango?”. I have never seen a mangosteen in the shops where live but I have seen some when I have been on holiday.

 It is one of those fruits that is extremely fussy about where it grows.  Originating in East Asia in countries like Thailand it was very difficult for people to get, however, there are now some other countries like Puerto Rico, Malaysia and Hawaii that have managed to grow them successfully.

In case you haven’t seen a mangosteen then they are about the same size as an apple with a skin that is about two centimeterss thick. when you break through the purple exterior then you get a white fruit that looks very similar to an orange.

The flavour that comes from the fruit itself is to die for and the flavour that comes from the skin will make you want to die! Okay, I exaggerate, but it is an extremely tasty fruit. The reason the skin tastes so vile is because it is full of tannins and other chemicals that helps to keep out insects.

Now for the bad news. All the best nutrients from the mangosteen fruit comes from the skin but when you buy mangosteen juice you will often find that there are other fruits mixed in with it to take the taste away. This juice can be expensive if you do not live near a country that can grow the fruit but the health benefits make it worth the money.

At the Food and Drink site I discuss the benefits of mangosteen juice and give a number of reasons to buy it but to give you an idea about how good this is, doctors used to prescribe it as alternative medicine. They believe that it can help to cure allergies and that it offers a lot of xanthones that are very good for you. Xanthones are so abundant in mangosteen that it is the best source you can find for them.
So head over to the site to learn more about the benefits then go and treat yourself.
