在美国，购买一公斤多一点的新鲜山竹要花费近 80 美元。这种娇嫩的水果需要特定的环境条件才能生长。在最佳时刻采摘山竹对于确保最佳风味和质地至关重要，这增加了采摘的复杂性。美国禁止从其最大的生产国——泰国和印度尼西亚——进口山竹。尽管自那时以来山竹的商业供应量激增，但仍无法满足今天的需求。我们去了印度喀拉拉邦，看看山竹是如何种植的，并发现是什么让它如此昂贵。
Buying a little over a kilo of fresh mangosteens in the United States can set you back nearly $80. This delicate fruit needs specific environmental conditions to grow. Picking the mangosteens at the perfect moment is crucial to ensure optimal flavor and texture, adding to the complexity of harvesting. The US banned imports of mangosteens from its largest producers — countries like Thailand and Indonesia. Even though the commercial supply of mangosteen has spiked since then, it still doesn't meet today's demand. We went to Kerala, India, to see how mangosteen is grown and discover what makes it so expensive.
山竹（学名：Garcinia mangostana），又名莽吉柿、芒翕、山竺、山竹子、倒捻子、凤果，热带常绿乔木，为藤黄科藤黄属下的一个种。原产于马来群岛中的巽他群岛和摩鹿加群岛，由于盛产于南洋热带地区，有“热带果后”之称。在马来西亚、新加坡和泰国，榴梿和山竹被视为“夫妻果”，故此相对于称为“果王”的榴梿而言，山竹就是“果后”。
山竹同属的主要水果包括钮扣山竹（Garcinia prainiana）和柠檬山竹（Garcinia madruno），近缘种是福木（Garcinia subelliptica）。
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), also known as the purple mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree with edible fruit native to Island Southeast Asia, from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo. It has been cultivated extensively in tropical Asia since ancient times. It is grown mainly in Southeast Asia, southwest India and other tropical areas such as Colombia, Puerto Rico and Florida, where the tree has been introduced. The tree grows from 6 to 25 m (19.7 to 82.0 ft) tall.
The fruit of the mangosteen is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe.[5][6] In each fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the ovary. The seeds are of similar size and shape to almonds.
Genus Garcinia also contains several less-known fruit-bearing species, such as the button mangosteen (G. prainiana) and the charichuelo (G. madruno).
