Dawn breaks over the jungle of
Southeast Asia and begins to burn away the nighttime mists.
Although it is early, the street side produce markets in villages and
towns throughout the land are already bustling with activity, for
today is different. In these tropical climates, most fruits and
vegetables are available any time of year, but today, the open-air
markets are humming with an almost electric anticipation. This
only happens twice a year. Every six months. That's the
harvest cycle for the fruit prized above all others. The
Queen of Fruits!
For centuries, this scene has played out in lands now known as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. An exotic tropical fruit, prized and valued above all others, has been a source of enjoyment and benefit for countless generations. The ancient people of Southeast Asia referred to this marvel as The Queen of Fruits. Nineteenth century scientists named it Garcinia Mangostana. Today it carries the common name Mangosteen. |
With the arrival of Europeans and their
ocean-going vessels, the Mangosteen was introduced to other faraway
places. Queen Victoria of England, once she had tasted this
imported delicacy, promptly declared it her favorite fruit.
Today, you'll find Mangosteen growing in Australia, Brazil, and the islands of the Caribbean. The local people in every spot know the beneficial properties of this extraordinary fruit. A wealth of scientific studies has been conducted to pinpoint the chemical properties that infuse the Mangosteen with its remarkable benefits. An isolated secret for untold generation, Mangosteen is now being made available through a singular, exceptional product: XanGo® Juice. |

Perhaps Mangosteen's most remarkable quality, the characteristic that set it apart from every other fruit, was its remarkable flavor. The soft, snow-white flesh of the inner fruit was sweet and delicious, unlike other local fruits of Southeast Asia that called for an "acquired taste." The people of these tropical lands valued the Mangosteen, treasuring it above all others because of its heavenly taste. No wonder it was known throughout the land as The Queen of Fruits. |
