What does it look like inside the mountain bamboo

The flesh of the mountain bamboo is white petal shaped, with a soft and juicy texture, a sweet and sour taste, and a small amount of inedible seeds in the center. Mangkhut is rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and minerals, and has nutritional values such as antioxidant and digestive benefits. The edible part of mangosteen is white garlic like flesh, usually consisting of 4-8 cloves, wrapped in a thick purple red skin. Mature mangosteen flesh is semi transparent milky white in color, with a taste similar to the combination of lychee and peach. It has abundant juice and a unique aroma. There may be 1-3 brown round seeds in the center of the fruit pulp, which are hard and hard to spit out and cannot be swallowed. Fresh mangosteen flesh should have no brown spots or shriveling. If the flesh turns black or discolored, it may have spoiled.

The skin of mangosteen contains substances such as tannic acid, which may cause staining of fingers during peeling. It is recommended to wear gloves for handling. The red inner membrane between the skin and flesh is rich in anthocyanins, which are edible but have a bitter taste. Most people choose to remove it. When selecting mangosteen, you can gently pinch the fruit shell, which is slightly elastic and has fresh green sepals. Hard or too soft may affect the taste. Mangkhut is a cold fruit, and people with weak gastrointestinal function should control their consumption and avoid overeating on an empty stomach.

Mangkhut is suitable for direct fresh consumption or making fruit salads, and pairs well with tropical fruits such as mangoes and lychees for a better flavor. Due to the easy oxidation of the fruit flesh, it is recommended to consume it as soon as possible after cutting it open, or drizzle a little lemon juice to maintain its color. The flesh of mangosteen can be juiced or used to make ice cream, but high temperature heating can destroy its delicate texture. When storing, it is necessary to keep it dry and ventilated. Unpeeled mangosteen can be stored in a cool place for 2-3 days. The shelled flesh should be refrigerated and consumed on the same day. It is advisable to take 3-4 pills every time for daily consumption, and diabetes patients need to pay attention to controlling their intake.
