For my Ridgecrest Elementary Friends Mangosteen "When ripe the fruit is as delicate and agreeably sweet as the finest lansehs (another famous Malay fruit tree,) and may even be mistaken for ripe grapes. It is at the same time so juicy, that many people can never eat enough of it, so delicious is its fragrance and agreeable its sweetness; and it is believed that the sick, when appetite or the power of eating has wholly gone, are nevertheless delighted with this fruit; or at least if they will not take to Mangosteens their case is indeed hopeless." - Georgius Everhardus Rumphius (1628-1702) Dutch governor of Amboyna, a part of present day Indonesia
