Seeds 4 or 5 or more, pulp white, juicy, fleshy.“ http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200014177
„The fruit of the mangosteen is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. In each fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the ovary.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_mangosteen
