Fresh Mangosteen (Manggis Fruit)
Mangosteen has been called the queen of fruits for centuries, partly for its regal purple rind and partly because Queen Victoria was rumoured to offer titles to anyone who could deliver fresh mangosteen to her table. We can confirm the fruit is special; we cannot offer knighthoods. Crack open the reddish-purple rind and you find a flower-shaped cluster of creamy white flesh with a flavor profile that splits the difference between lychee, strawberry, and peach. Manggis fruit (the Indonesian name) is native to Southeast Asia and now ships to the U.S. in limited windows. Each fresh mangosteen fruit box contains 3, 5, or 7 pounds of hand-picked purple mangosteen, sourced through our partners and air-shipped to Miami before going out to your door. Free U.S. shipping and the Arrive Fresh Guarantee cover every box.

Best Mangosteen Fruit For...
A First Taste of the Queen of Fruits
The best mangosteen fruit for first-timers is the small 3-pound box. The reddish-purple rind takes practice to crack cleanly; about ten mangosteens give you room to figure it out before going larger.
Sharing the Mangosteen Experience
The best fresh mangosteen box for sharing with family or guests is the 7-pound size, which holds enough purple mangosteen to introduce the flavor to a group. The flower-shaped flesh segments are easy to portion.
Mangosteen Smoothies and Sorbets
The best mangosteen for blended drinks and frozen desserts is whatever box matches your batch size. The creamy flesh blends easily, and the lychee-strawberry-peach flavor profile holds up against yogurt, citrus, and coconut milk.
Connoisseur Tropical Fruit Boxes
The best mangosteen fruit for connoisseurs and tropical fruit collectors is the 5-pound box, the right balance for one or two people who want to eat manggis fruit slowly over a week without rushing.

If you’ve never had Durian, you need to pause and consider this decision. This is not a fruit for beginners, this is definitely a connoisseur’s fruit. In fruits, just like the food world, caviar is not for everyone. For the experienced, the aroma consists of a pleasantly sweet fragrance. For the untrained, it can be a little overpowering.

It has a long finish that will leave the taste in your mouth for a while. Be prepared to be absolutely blown away by this flavor explosion. Who needs fancy molecular gastronomy when you can just eat a piece of Durian? Yes, nature perfected it first.
This is the most expensive fruit we’ve ever procured and as always, we guarantee that it will arrive fresh.

They are sweet and non-fibrous so keep the dental floss in the bathroom cabinet while you savor and enjoy the beautiful aroma that will fill your house with happiness and a hint of snobbishness since, after all, you got exclusive Thai mangos shipped directly to your house.

Dear Melon Lovers, here is an excuse to taste some of the very best flavors a melon has to offer. There are many varieties of melon in Korea but this variety, the Chamoe is the best known in North America, we call it Korean Melon, some people also call it Oriental Melon but as you know, we like to keep it simple.
In Korea, this is the fruit that represents summer with its beautiful oval shape and yellow-orange color and it's a fruit commonly enjoyed in many parts of Asia. When you cut into it, you'll see that it's crunchy like a canteloupe, with a really nice flavor. The flesh has pear and cucumber notes, not too sweet but truly delicious. Peel the rind with a peeler and serve them chilled, add to salads, desserts, smoothies, you name it.
This box contains 8 pounds of Korean Melons which is about 6 melons
Also known as the Korean pear, Chinese pear, Japanese pear or apple pear because they are shaped like apples. In ancient times, the Asian pears were reserved for the nobility. No wonder why throughout the centuries, pears are a symbol of good fortune and immortality. In Japanese culture, they were even believed to ward off evil. This is without a doubt the fruit for these times. I don’t know about you guys, but we need a heck of a lot of that this year.
They have a delicate taste are fragrant, super crunchy, sweet, and delicious. Asian pears are juicier than a regular pear and have a hint of pineapple flavor. Some people compare it to a sweet Jicama. They are great in salads and can be also used for cooking and baking. Definitely a treat.
Native to Southeast Asia, the Gamboge Fruit, also called Yellow Mangosteen or Lemon Mangosteen is a treat, if you like sour and tangy fruits that is. They are very aromatic, the skin is smooth, pretty thin, and delicate. The flesh has a creamy consistency that's very pleasant.
The flavor is mostly sour and tangy with a hint of sweet and similar floral notes as the mangosteen. Definitely a treat for our Tropifruiters.
The Regular box has 5 pounds of Gamboge Fruit
The Large box has 8 pounds of fruit

In Greece, they are called the divine fruit, it’s the national fruit of Japan and in the U.S. this variety is about 80% of the market. We don’t know what you guys think but the Fuyu Persimmon has something going for it.
Their taste is a mixture of a rich, honey-like mild flavor that’s like nothing you’ve ever had before, unless of course… you’ve eaten persimmons :) They have fiber and vitamins that we are not going to mention because Facebook keeps blocking our listings saying that we are selling medical devices so, there...have you heard the phrase food as medicine? You get it then.
Thank you Meta for making our jobs harder and thank you for considering shopping for some delicious Fuyu persimmons that will be delivered right to your door thanks to the modern magic of internet and shipping.
Hachiya Persimmons are here! We finally got them! We've been chasing these beauties for a while and we are here to tell you that we finally found a sustainable source.
We can't keep our eyes off the beautiful golden orange color but that's not all, the fragrance and the flavor with a delicate sweet flavor with notes of mango, honey and apricot.
The Maru Chocolate Persimmon is by far the most exclusive Persimmon variety loved by connoisseurs and those lucky enough to have tasted it. Warning: This persimmon has been known to cause obsession. The skin color is deeper than the traditional Fuyu variety and they are just plain delicious with just enough sweetness but not overwhelming. They are also super juicy and have a nice finish with spice notes.
Where does the chocolate reference come from? No, it’s not the chocolatey taste, it’s because the flesh turns brown when they ripen. People think that when the fruit turns brown it’s bad and it applies to most other fruit but not to this very special persimmon, so use this opportunity to broaden your horizons and taste something truly unique. That’s if you are lucky enough to catch them as they are probably going to be selling pretty quickly and their season is also very short!
Sharon Persimmons are here! Are you surprised? We’ve pulled out all the stops for our Persimmon Fans and now we have these delicious persimmons that can be enjoyed no matter the stage of maturity.

Imagine a hint of vanilla and brown sugar wrapped in a complex flavor that is going to have you lip-smacking in no time. Unlike other persimmons, you can enjoy it before it is fully ripened since the sweet flavor carries throughout the maturity cycle.
What does this beautiful Sharon fruit look like?
The color is this beautiful orangey-yellow and if you were looking for a fruit that it visually looks like, it could be compared in shape to a tomato but the flavor couldn’t be more different. The Sharon persimmons come to us all the way from Israel since they are cultivated in the Sharon Plain and are very special and rare in the U.S.
How do you eat a Sharon persimmon?
Yes, this is an actual question we get asked and the answer is… carefully, taking your time and pairing it with fish, shellfish, or your favorite cheese and a crisp, chilled white wine.

Spanish Persimmons? Aren’t persimmons supposed to be Japanese? Here is a little-known fact; Spain is the largest exporter of Persimmons in the world! How come? The mild climate and fertile soils of the Ribera del Xúcar region in Valencia along the bank of the river produces some of the most coveted persimmons in the world.The Spanish Kakis are delicate, and this variety the Rojo Brillante is unusually sweet, plump and the flesh is nice and firm with very little astringency, in other words, as good as it gets. The Spanish are so proud of them that they export them all over Europe and we got lucky enough to get our very own batch flown first class directly to us. It’s hard to tell in the picture but these things are huge!
We have Pomarosa also known as Wax Jambu, Java Apple, and Rose apple. This is a limited batch of this delicious Asian delicacy. The Wax Jambu has a refreshingly floral, not-so-sweet flavor. The skin is waxy, but the flesh is apple-like white with a juicy, crunchy, and crispy bite.
Wax Jambu is a pear-shaped fruit with waxy skin and crispy flesh similar to the Malay apple. The Wax Apple is native to the Philippines, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Other names include love apple, java apple, and bell fruit, water apple, mountain apple, and rose apple. The fruit is bell-shaped edible, with colors ranging from white, pale green, green, red, purple, crimson, to deep purple or even black, 4-6 cm long in wild plants.

What does durian taste like, and how do I know it’s ripe?
Durian is often described as the "creme brulee" of the fruit world. It has a rich, thick texture similar to cheesecake with a flavor profile that blends notes of vanilla, diced garlic, and toasted almonds. A durian is typically ready to eat when the rind begins to naturally crack slightly at the base or when it emits a strong, sweet fragrance. If the fruit sounds like a hollow drum when tapped with a wooden tool, the flesh inside is soft and loose from the shell, indicating peak ripeness.
