The shells where hardened but the texture was consistent. The flesh was the texture of a very fine citrus. The flavor, too, was mildly citrus but with florals added. Very delicate and very delicious.

I am a fellow fan of fabulous fruits, and agree with you that the cherimoya gets a 5/5. But a fresh mangosteen, like they serve in Thailand, is a 6/5! Absolutely, hands down, the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted in my life. No bitterness, nothing medicinal about them. I dream about those mangosteens to this day, but nothing available in the States comes close. You must not have had the same mangosteens I did.

What struck me in that article is that he said that the skin was soft! That's when I realized that the fruit that make it here have probably little in common with what people have the chance of eating over there. Unfortunately, now, each I see those at the store, it just makes me sad and I don't buy them anymore... I'll have to go to Asia some day just tu have a taste of the real thing!
