Since you can't hide from mangosteen, you might as well eat it in your stomach.

Two days ago, the most powerful typhoon "mangosteen" swept through in 2018, with strong winds and torrential rain, and friends along the coast shivered at home, especially those in Guangdong, who directly suspended work, classes and transportation.

April has been curious, who named such a strange typhoon? It was later learned that 14 countries affected by typhoons had established typhoon naming tables, with each country having 10 naming rights and 140 typhoon names being recycled sequentially.

This year, the 22nd typhoon happens to have the name "mangosteen", which is provided by Thailand. Typhoon durian, previously named in Thailand, has been removed because it is too harmful. April speculated that this "mangosteen" is also dangerous.

Do you really know mangosteen?

A typhoon called "mangosteen" carried high winds and torrential rain, breaking trees and shattering glass, destroying many buildings and causing huge property losses.

Now when we see the word "mangosteen", we are always a little scared and expect it to disappear as soon as possible.

Mangosteen himself said that he was very aggrieved: how much did you like me in the past, praising me sweet and sour, soft and waxy, and calling me the fruit queen? now how can you turn your face and not recognize the "fruit"?

I like to eat mangosteen very much in April. Hot and humid summer, no appetite to eat, I often while chasing the drama while leisurely peeling mangosteen, sweet juice filled the mouth, this is the happiest moment of the summer. (of course, you will be happier if you have a boyfriend peeling mangosteen for you.)

Have you ever seen mangosteen blossom after eating mangosteen for so many years? Do you know how mangosteen changes from flower to fruit? Apart from eating directly, what other delicacies can mangosteen make?

In the following April, Dangdang will take advantage of the heat of the typhoon to fully disclose the secrets of mangosteen and bring you to know mangosteen again.

The scientific name of mangosteen is

"Mangji persimmon"

Belong to the genus Garcinia of the family Glycyraceae

It's a tall tropical tree.

A branch resembling bamboo.

The blade is broad and bright.

The fruit is sour and sweet and delicious.

Every summer

Mangosteen trees will have white flowers.

It is divided into two kinds: female flowers and male flowers.

The male flowers bloomed in clusters.

But it didn't work out.

The female flower is a maverick, a single one

Will turn pale pink over time

You don't need male flower pollination to bear fruit.

So all the mangosteen we eat is female.

After the female flower withered, it gave birth to fruit.

Because the sun is blocked by leaves all the year round

The fresh fruit is white in color.

Like a timid child.

Under the cover of the pedicel

Looking curiously at the outside world.

In the abundant days of sunshine and Rain Water

The fruit will grow up quickly.

First, it becomes light cyan.

Later, it gradually changed from green to yellow.

Came to the half-ripe puberty

Green but full of vibrant energy.

After a month of growth,

The color of mangosteen is getting darker and darker

The fruit is getting more and more round and full.

Finally transformed into a mature beauty.

The greedy children picked the fruit

It took a lot of effort to break the thick skin.

Reveal 4-8 petal glittering and translucent pulp

It's like peeled garlic cloves.

Bite down a mouthful of juice

With slight acid in sweetness

It's a summer weapon.

If you accidentally break the peel

The petal will be stained with red juice.

The taste will also become astringent.

This is because the skin of mangosteen contains pigment.

It can be used as a raw material for dyeing.

Mangosteen fruits are

The effect of clearing heat and removing fire

Durian and durian are good partners.

Worried that if you eat too much durian, you will get angry.

Just eat a few mangosteen to cool down your anger.

He is worthy of a good gay friend who was expelled by the typhoon.

In addition, mangosteen is rich in

Rich in proteins and lipids

It is suitable for people who need supplementary nutrition.

But people with a cold stomach or body

Don't eat too much.

In addition to eating directly, mangosteen can also be made

Delicious drinks and healthy salad

It often appears in the recipes of foreign fitness experts.

More popular than avocados.

Two mangosteen and a glass of milk

Throw it into the blender and break it.

The mellow smell of milk and the aroma of fruit

Animal protein and plant protein are all together.

Breakfast is the best choice.

Cut half the papaya and peel some mangosteen

Beat well in the blender

Finally, add a few drops of lemonade.

A sweet, sour and cool drink will be ready.

Easily done in 2 minutes.

There is also a more creative way to eat.

Cut the mangosteen in half

Pour in a few spoonfuls of yogurt

Have you ever tasted mangosteen yogurt?

It tastes wonderful.

Cut mangosteen and mango, kiwifruit and grape into pieces

Make a tropical fruit salad

Mix it with a few drops of fruit vinegar or yogurt.

Delicious and healthy.

Seeing here, do the girls want to eat mangosteen? Don't worry, there are so many mangosteen in the market, how can we pick out the sweetest one?

Pinch the outer skin when you choose, if you press it soft and elastic, it can quickly return to its original state, which is fresh mangosteen. If it's too hard or too soft, it doesn't taste good.

Then there is to look at the fruit pedicel, the green pedicel shows that the mangosteen is freshly picked, if brown or even black, it means that it has not been fresh for too long.

Many people say that mangosteen has several sepals, including several petals of flesh, which is also correct, but the number of petals does not affect the taste of mangosteen, depending on your own preferences.

Picking mangosteen well is only the first step. How to peel mangosteen quickly and gracefully is the most important test of skill. Can peel off a complete mangosteen, there is a great sense of achievement.

If you are a delicate girl, you can cut a circle along the middle of the mangosteen with a knife and rotate gently in the opposite direction on both sides to open the shell.

If you don't have a fruit knife on hand, you can only use violence.

Press the bottom of the mangosteen and squeeze it around the waist, and the shell will crack, and the flesh will still sit firmly on the pedicel, like a lollipop, and you can eat it in one bite.

Mangosteen is rich in juice and sweet.

It takes a lot of effort to eat.

You need to think carefully.

Maybe all the good things in the world are like this.

You have to work hard to get there.

Although the season for eating mangosteen is over

But this typhoon

Gave me another reason to eat mangosteen.

Don't say, I will go to a certain treasure to place an order.
