2. Selection Method

When choosing, you can first look at the stem of the mangosteen and judge whether it is fresh by its color. If the color is bright green, it means that the fruit is relatively fresh and has not rotted inside. If the color of the stem is black, it has basically gone bad and it is not recommended to buy it. If you can't tell by looking at it, you can pinch the skin. If the fruit is elastic, it means it is fresh. Finally, you can weigh it. If it feels heavier, it means it has more moisture and is fresher.
