Mangosteen Juice Anyone?

Is this the new Wheatgrass?

Mangosteen's are a fruit that's native to Southeast Asia and are commercially grown in India, Brazil, Thailand, and Malaysia and other tropical regions. They're the fruit of a slowgrowing (6-25m) tropical evergreen that produces fruit twice a year - once in Autumn and then again in Spring. The fruit has been colloquially known as 'the fruit of the gods' and is one of the most delicious exotic fruits.

However, Mangosteen's are not only valuable as a fruit but also recognised as a health supplement. It appears that the rind, pericarp, of the fruit contains xanthones (a type of antioxidant) which apparently is good for the treatment of cancer or at least as a deterrent.

The main producer of mangosteen juice is Xango Juice which retails at upwards of $A25 per 750ml bottle. While this may seem a little expensive for a bottle of fruit juice, one has only to consider the health benefits.
