A fruit with the character "zhu" in its name, what is it called?

Apples, grapes, bananas, oranges and the like are fruits we commonly eat; as long as we see them in the supermarket, we can call them by name. But some fruits we do not often see, and sometimes we cannot even say their names. So, a kind of fruit called what zhu, do you all know?

1. A kind of fruit called what zhu?

This fruit should be mangosteen, also called shanzhu, shanzhuzi, or daonianzi, with the scientific name mangjishi. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit native to Maluku; Taiwan, China, Fujian, Guangdong and Yunnan have introduced or trial-planted it. When ripe, its rind is purplish red with yellow-brown patches, and the flesh inside is white; it can be eaten raw, and its taste is a little like cherries.

2. Is mangosteen cooling or warming?

Mangosteen is a cooling fruit and contains a special substance that has the effect of reducing dryness and clearing heat. Therefore, people with a deficient-cold constitution should only eat a little and should not eat much; women during menstruation or with cold-type dysmenorrhea especially should not eat it; it also should not be eaten together with cold-cool foods such as watermelon, soy milk, beer, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, bitter melon, winter melon and lotus leaf.

3. How many mangosteens is it good to eat in a day?

Eating 2-3 mangosteens a day is enough; do not eat too many. Because mangosteen contains a lot of sugar, eating too many can lead to obesity; mangosteen is rich in fiber, and eating too many can cause the stomach to absorb water and swell, leading to constipation; mangosteen is a cold-natured fruit, and eating too many can make the body weak.
