Mangosteen
I take a photograph of mangosteen fruit on a pandanus mat and an isolated white background to enrich the collection on #HiveStockImages.
The fruit looks unattractive, the skin is scuffed, fruit stalk is not fresh, but that's all we can get from the fruit market.
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), also known as purple mangosteen, have white flesh with sweet and sour taste. Scientific articles discussing mangosteen which is used for medical purposes, here I only quote from wikipedia:
Various parts of the plant have a history of use in traditional medicine, mostly in Southeast Asia; it may have been used to treat skin infections, wounds, dysentery, urinary tract infections, and gastrointestinal complaints, although there is no high-quality clinical evidence for any of these effects. Dried fruits are shipped to Singapore to be processed for medical uses which may include dysentery, skin disorders, and various other minor diseases in several countries across Asia. There is no reliable evidence that mangosteen juice, puree, bark or extracts is effective as a treatment for human diseases. en.wikipedia.org
