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.
