Garcinia mangostana. The mangosteen: a relation of Asam Kandis, but larger (about as big as an apple) and with a deliciously sweet white flesh inside a thin, hard skin. As with most members of this family, the skin is extremely bitter, and the brownish-yellow fluid that it contains will stain anything it touches irredeemably—so break the fruit open with care.
