What goes with Mangosteen?
Mangosteen contains soft white segments inside a thick purple rind. Larger segments may contain a seed, while smaller ones can be seedless. The rind is not a substitute for the edible flesh: it has a much more astringent character and can stain the clean white segments during careless opening.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Mangosteen?
Choose accompaniments that leave the segments prominent in each bite. Small amounts of citrus zest, a mild herb or gently seasoned seafood can supply contrast; concentrated spice and dense sauces should be kept away from most of the flesh. A cold preparation usually gives more control than folding the fruit into a hot reduction.
