MANGOSTEEN

Greg and I have been going to the local mercado publico in Boquete to buy our fruits and vegetables and recently tried a new fruit called mangosteen.  The delicious fruit inside the relatively thick purple rind is sweet, tangy, and juicy.


Each of these mangosteens is about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.





This is Benjamin, the friendly fruit vendor who encouraged us to try the the mangosteen.  He always has a smile on his face and is eager to help us pick out fruit that is ripe and ready to eat.

    how long are they in season in Boquete? We are planning a visit & want to be there when they are ripe. Might be my favorite fruit in the world.
