How much is a pound of mangosteen

1. Price

The price of mangosteen varies depending on its variety and color. Generally, the price is around 10-20 yuan per catty. The ones imported from Thailand are slightly cheaper, about 20 yuan per catty. The price of relatively high quality ones is about 170 yuan per catty. The ones imported by air are about 260 yuan per catty. The imported frozen ones are about 100 yuan per catty. The authentic ones imported from Thailand are more expensive, about 400 yuan per catty.

2. Selection Method

1. Look at the stem: When choosing mangosteen, look at the stem. The greener the stem, the fresher it is. If the stem is black, it means it has been stored for a long time and is not fresh. The flesh inside may even have deteriorated.

2. Pinch the shell: The shell of fresh mangosteen is relatively elastic. If the shell is too hard, it means it is not fresh. If it is too soft, it may have been soaked in water or rotted.

3. Weigh the weight: When choosing, you can weigh it and choose the heavy ones, because the heavier ones mean it has more moisture and is very fresh.
