Southeast Asia is famous for the variety of fruits and of course, being in Bali I interested to try it.
In this post I will tell you about the fruit, which I bought at the local market, and you can buy them in the supermarket.

The fruit has a thick shell purple-brown, his inside is white flesh. The flavor is very sweet and juicy. Mangosteen is also useful, it is a real source of important human elements, vitamins C and E, calcium, magnesium, zinc, sodium and potassium. Perhaps today for me is the most delicious fruit.
