What is the yellow one in mangosteen?

First, there is injury

Mangosteen itself will secrete yellow substances, probably because the fruit is squeezed in the process of picking or transportation, which will scratch the skin and lead to the secretion of yellow substances, which can be completely assured and will not be harmful to the human body. however, exposure to broken skin for too long must have an effect on freshness and taste.

Second, not fully ripe

Mangosteen that is not fully ripe will also have yellow pulp, no harm, can be eaten, but the taste is certainly not as delicious as ripe, will be very astringent, you can look at the pericarp when choosing, purple and black will be fully ripe.

Third, it is not fresh

There is also a possibility that the yellow pulp has been kept for too long, so that the flesh has gone bad, not fresh enough, and it will taste very bitter. If it tastes bitter, don't eat it. At least the bitter piece can not be eaten, if the yellow one is still white, you can still eat it, but if the shell is also soft, it is recommended to throw it away.
