How much is mangosteen per jin? Latest market price trends
I. Price
The price of mangosteen varies depending on the variety and color.

II. Selection Methods
1. Look at the fruit stem: When selecting mangosteens, look at the fruit stem. The greener the stem, the fresher it is. If the stem has turned black, it means it has been stored for a long time and is very stale, and the flesh inside may even have spoiled.
2. Squeeze the shell: Fresh mangosteen shells are relatively elastic. If the shell is too hard, it is not fresh; if it is too soft, that is also no good, as it may mean it has been soaked in water or has rotted.
3. Weigh it in your hand: When selecting, you can weigh them in your hand and choose the heavier ones, because heavier ones mean more moisture and are very fresh.
