Important Details

  • This superfruit is jam-packed with antioxidants, which means it can help your body fight off sickness and disease. It’s also got tons of vitamin C, fiber, and minerals like potassium and magnesium that are important for your body to function at its best.
  • And get this, mangosteens have a special group of compounds called xanthones that have been shown to have all kinds of health benefits. These little guys are anti-inflammatory, which means they can help ease pain and swelling in your body. They’re also anti-cancer and anti-diabetic, which means they could help prevent these scary diseases from happening to you.

When you bite into a mangosteen, you’ll be hit with a burst of sweet and tangy flavors that are sure to make your taste buds dance.
