Mangosteen The Queen Of Fruits Comes To America in a Dietary Supplement Juice
(ContentDesk) October 24, 2005 -- Mangosteen is an evergreen tree about 30 to 75 feet tall when mature. The mangosteen tree is a small, slow growing tropical evergreen with leathery, glabrous leaves up to 10 inches long. Fruits are borne on lateral branches. They have a thick rind, which encloses 5 to 7 fleshy segments, in which the seeds are imbedded. Only about 25 to 30% of the mangosteen fruit consists of the edible pulp or rind, with the remainder comprising the tough, bitter pericarp.
Each mangosteen fruit usually varies in weight from 75 to 120 grams and normally contains 2 to 3 well-developed seeds. The pulp, the only part consumed, has excellent flavor, proclaimed by many as the best among tropical fruits. Often two crops per year mature, one in the autumn, and one in early summer. The trees often bear sparingly. The tree appears to be adapted best to strictly tropical areas and requires abundant moisture.
The mangosteen fruit may be the best tasting fruit in the world. The latin name for mangosteen is also Garcinia mangostana. The fruit, which originated in Malaysia, is a little smaller than a tennis ball, with a hard exterior purple shell. The inside contains a luscious white/translucent, sectional fruit with seeds. To open the fruit, cut through the skin only, and lightly pull and twist the fruit apart.????Xango juice is made from Mangostana fruits which has been used & enjoyed in southeast Asia for hundreds of Years.
The Mangosteen is one of the most praised of tropical fruits. The flavor of the fruit is acclaimed as exquisitely luscious and delicious. It's difficult to describe the flavor with accuracy. Some people detect a hint of strawberry, while others are reminded of kiwi, pomegranate, or grape. The complex flavor of this sweet, dry beverage, however, wins instant praise from all who try it.

A Look at Fruit Gift Baskets
The original, the granddaddy of all of today's items bought and sold as fruit baskets, was in fact a basket full of assorted fruits. While there is no clear cut evidence when the first fruit basket was wrapped up and delivered to it's overjoyed recipient, it is known that in ancient times fruit baskets were routinely given to kings and feudal lords all over the world as a sign of respect and loyalty.
For whatever occasion applied, the coronation of a new king, a royal birth or even a wedding, the kingdom was carefully searched and only the best of all the fruits available were carefully assembled into a wicker basket and presented to the royal family. It wasn't until sometime later that other products, perhaps spices from far away lands, plants, wines and other products not indigenous to the kingdom, were included with the fruit. That's how it all began.
From that point forward, whenever that was, fruit baskets became a name only for any conglomeration of goods,...

A Look at Edible Fruit Baskets
By their very nature, all fruit baskets, especially the original ones, qualify as edible fruit baskets. After all, when a fruit basket was filled with nothing but fruit, by definition everything in them was edible and therefore qualified as an edible fruit basket. But with today's more competitive marketplace, fruit baskets have grown to include much more than food items. In an attempt to differentiate them from fruit baskets that contain non-food items, the term edible fruit baskets was born ? again nobody knows exactly where, or when, or who first used it ? to signify a fruit basket containing only items that could only be eaten. Nothing drinkable; no wines, no organic juices were included, nor were any jams or jellies or spreads.
Essentially, edible fruit baskets don't contain anything that should be left over after a short-lived, sumptuous feast of its contents.
Some people get confused by the term "edible fruit basket." They think that the basket itself is...

The Benefits of Fresh Noni Fruit
In Polynesia, ripe noni fruit is contained, so that it decomposes and ferments. The amber juice that forms on top of the fermented fruit is consumed daily as a general preventative medicine.
But in contemporary Western civilizations, fresh noni fruit is hard to come by. You could try to buy fresh noni fruit directly from a manufacturer of noni fruit products, but it would be expensive, because there is not enough demand to encourage regular supply.
Fresh noni fruit smells very pungent, and not an aroma one normally associates with fruit. Noni juice itself also radiates this aroma, but not to the extent that fresh noni fruit does. The riper the noni fruit, the stronger the odor.
Consuming fresh noni fruit is the healthiest way to benefit from its properties.
This is because it is completely unprocessed. All products made from noni fruit go through a process by which some of the nutrients are lost, decreasing their therapeutic value....
