Where to buy mangosteens in USA?
Just returned from a trip to Sri Lanka and fell in love with mangosteens!
For those who don't know what a mangosteen is, it's a fruit that looks like a purple beefsteak tomato. Inside, it has 4-5 sections of fruit that look like a white orange. The sections have the consistency of a perfectly ripened peach and are sweet as sugar.
Has anyone tried to buy them in the US? Do you think I could find them at my local asian market? If you have found them, were they outrageously expensive? (They were about $0.20 each in Sri Lanka - cheap by US standards, but expensive by Sri Lankan standards).
