Fruit Whose Skin Is Beneficial For The Body
Have you ever known that there are fruits that have benefits, both the flesh and even the skin? Yup, for those of you who don't know the fruit is called Manggis or Mangosteen in English.
Mangosteen fruit can be found in tropical countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. The shape of this fruit itself is very unique, round and dark purple in color. And if you see this fruit for the first time, it looks like wood. But when this fruit is ripe, you don't need to use a hammer to open the fruit. It is enough to pinch the mangosteen fruit using both palms at the back of the hand or you can split it with a knife.
And before you open the skin of this fruit, you pay attention to the brown bottom like the picture below.
To find out how much mangosteen flesh is, you just have to count it. If there are six, that means there are six fruit flesh. And you can see the flesh of the mangosteen fruit that I opened below contains six flesh.
Looks like magic. And this fruit is often used as a game of guessing the amount of fruit flesh in it. And many people make the mangosteen fruit as a fruit of honesty. Because what we see and count on the outside is also the same on the inside.
"How about the taste? Is it sweet?"
This fruit that I have tastes sweet and sour. But there is a mangosteen fruit that has a sweet taste. But I don't know how to tell which mangosteen is sour and which mangosteen is sour apart from the price. Usually if the price is expensive, you can be sure it's sweet. That's just my opinion.
And for those of you who also don't know, that mangosteen peel has good properties for the body. Among them:
• can ward off free radicals
• reduce inflammation
• can control blood sugar
• boost the immune system
• maintain healthy skin and others
For how to consume mangosteen peel, people usually dry it first to dry and after that it can be processed. The dried mangosteen peel is usually made into tea or crushed into powder and then put into capsules. But now the times are getting more sophisticated, in drug stores now many are selling mangosteen peel extract. So you don't need to bother making it anymore.
So, that's the mangosteen fruit. Fruit whose skin can be used as herbal medicine that is beneficial to the body. Even though it is useful, as much as possible not to consume it excessively so that unwanted things don't happen.
