For those of you who have traveled to other Southeast Asian countries may have already tried the mangosteen.  Rounder, sweet, mild and little sour, apple-sized and deep purple fruit is easily cracked open by pressing between both palms. 

“Caution is to be taken as the rind exudes a reddish sap that can stain clothes. The reddish stains on your palms resemble blood at a glance, hence its nickname the ‘blood fruit’. While the white inner flesh is the prize, a recent trend has surfaced in drying up the rinds and making them into health teas, due to its claimed high antioxidant content. Mangosteen is also known in local traditional medicine as a remedy for skin and digestive problems. The juicy flesh sections contain slightly fibrous and inedible seeds, and most will agree that one is never enough. The evergreen trees are largely grown in the highland regions of Tabanan in Bali’s west, and the Bangli regency of the island’s east.” The Bali Hotel
