Mangosteen is a superfruit that contains a rich nutrient base along with the potential impact for lowering risk against various diseases.
Mangosteen is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemondrop mangosteen.
The Mangosteen fruit is typically advertised and marketed as part of an emerging category of novel functional foods sometimes called "superfruits" presumed to have a combination of 1) appealing subjective characteristics, such as taste, fragrance and visual qualities, 2) nutrient richness, 3) antioxidant strength and 4) potential impact for lowering risk against human diseases.
Mangosteen is a dark purple fruit about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, the size of a small peach or apple.
Mangosteen is a fruit native of Southeast Asia.
Research shows the fruit's assortment of vigorous phytonutrients possess high antioxidant activity supporting a healthy immune system, joint function and flexibility, intestinal health and a healthy seasonal respiratory system. Research has unearthed over forty scientific papers in which biochemically active components of the mangosteen have been rigorously examined in the laboratory. Based on the published research, my own observations and experiences, I believe the following statements to be an accurate description of the energetics of the entire mangosteen fruit.
Antioxidant strength is usually measured by the ORAC test (Oxidative Radical Absorbance Capacity), an assay developed by Brunswick Laboratories, which is thus the expert on this test. Mangosteen antioxidants: introduction A subjective index of antioxidant quality among plant foods involves color to rank a plant as "antioxidant-rich".
Xanthones from the heartwood of Garcinia mangostana. Xanthones are also known as "adaptagens" for their unique ability to modulate and assist the body in many areas.
Mangosteen is also known as the Queen of the Fruits for its many qualities and benefits. Mangosteen is truly destined to be the all-time favorite supplement ever brought to market.

Easter - A Time for Family, Love and The Traditional "Easter Lamb Cake"
Easter holds such beautiful memories from my childhood. Every year we would drive "over the river and through the woods" to my grandmother's house. There was a feeling of excitement in the anticipation of the traditional Easter Egg Hunt. With eleven grandchildren that was a lot of Easter eggs! As much as grandmom was an expert in the kitchen, Grandpop von Hohen was a expert Easter egg hider! He got such a kick out of it! There was always "one more egg" which no one could find. It would usually turn up in a basket grandpop had tied to the ropes of the flagpole and hoisted to the top of the pole! We'd all laugh when the older cousins would finally discover its location and try to get it down.
This special holiday comes at a most wonderful time of year - spring time! Adding to the fun and festive atmosphere of the day was the beauty of my grandmother's gardens. There were bulbs galore! All different varieties and colors of daffodils, tulips and narcissus. There was also a lovely backdrop of the forsythia hedge. Oh, and who could forget those fuzzy pussy willows! We'd be running around the yard in our Easter bonnets and it felt more like we were in the middle of a fairytale. The beauty around us seemed almost magical.
The beauty of the outside graced the inside of grandmom and grandpop's cozy home with colorful floral arrangements scattered throughout the dining and living rooms. But what always graced the center of the Easter Sunday Dinner table? It was the traditional Easter Lamb Cake. This was a pound cake baked in a lamb shaped mold and covered with white frosting and coconut with jelly beans for the eyes, nose and mouth. The silver tray it rested on was beautifully decorated with paper doilies, green Easter grass and sprinkled with colorful hard boiled eggs and all types of Easter candy - jelly beans, chocolate butter creams and coconut nests are the ones I remember most.
I hope you are making beautiful memories for your children and grandchildren. If not, why not start now? They will be so impressed with YOUR Easter Lamb Cake as a centerpiece to your holiday table. Below is the recipe for the Easter Lamb Cake. Enjoy!
