Get to know the benefits mangosteen to health

This photo was taken when I was traveling outside the city.

This is a mangosteen fruit that is a mainstay of the people of Aceh and is very attractive to everyone. Besides its sweet taste, the skin is also believed to cure diseases.

Brownish red color is a characteristic of fruits included in this export fruit category. Unfortunately the sweet taste of mangosteen is inversely proportional to the price in the community.

When we stopped in a merchant who sold mangosteen fruit, they admitted price of mangosteen that he bought at the farmer was only around Rp. 3 thousand to Rp. 4 thousand. Although this fruit is very beneficial for health, but the selling value is still relatively low.

Talking about the benefits of mangosteen for health, many people already know it and write it in various places, both on the internet and in health books.

I quote from one health source, namely Aladokter.com about the benefits mangosteen for health.

There have been many studies that know the benefits of mangosteen both meat and outer skin, because almost all parts of the mangosteen fruit can be used and are very good for health.
