Lucs Mangosteen

Lucs Mangosteen is a tropical fruit plant known for its delicious and juicy fruit. The scientific name of this plant is Garcinia mangostana, and it belongs to the Clusiaceae family.

The mangosteen fruit is round and about the size of a small apple, with a thick purple or reddish-purple rind that is often used for medicinal purposes. Inside the rind, the fruit has several soft, juicy, and white fleshed segments, usually around 4-8, which are similar in texture and taste to a ripe peach.

Lucs Mangosteen is native to Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. However, it is now cultivated in other parts of the world, including some areas of South America and Africa.

The plant requires a warm and humid climate, with temperatures between 20-35°C (68-95°F), and well-drained soil with a pH of around 5.5 to 6.5. It grows as a small evergreen tree or shrub, usually reaching up to 7-25 meters (23-82 feet) in height. The leaves are dark green and glossy, with a lanceolate or elliptical shape.

In addition to its delicious fruit, Lucs Mangosteen has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The rind of the fruit is known to contain a group of naturally occurring compounds called xanthones, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some research has also suggested that mangosteen may have potential benefits for promoting heart health, boosting the immune system, and reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.
