If you try them here, Nate, you'll have to let me know if you agree. I, myself, am a newbie to mangosteens. This is my first taste of them. I'm glad I now know what the fuss is all about. The flavor is very special indeed. My friend Rebecca, who has eaten mangosteens in Thailand thinks the ones she’s had here are just as good.

That is, if you live in Hawai'i. They're grown here. And they're fabulous!!! Just saying. :D Actually, mangosteen has been in the United States for a lot longer. That is, if you live in Hawai’i.

I saw these Thai Mangosteens on sale at our local Maxim food market on King Rd at Aborn going for $6.99 / lb. I was a bit dubious as to whether they would still be as good after having travelled so far. But you say they're worth it, even at $9 / lb? I wonder if they're as good as the fresh ones I've had in Malaysia though... Aloha, Nate Lau San Jose Hi Carolyn, I found your site through Food Gawker.
