Mangosteen Puree

Mangosteen puree is made from the fruit of the mangosteen tree, native to Southeast Asia. The fruit's rind is typically removed, and the pulp is pureed to create a smooth consistency. It has a sweet and slightly tart flavor profile.

Manufacturers use mangosteen puree to add a unique tropical flavor and natural sweetness to a variety of products. It is often found in beverages like juices and nectars, as well as in frozen desserts such as ice cream and frozen yogurt. Its vibrant color can also contribute to the visual appeal of foods.

Mangosteen puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, though specific health benefits at typical dietary intake levels are not well-established. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not set specific limits for mangosteen puree. There are no widespread controversies or significant health concerns associated with its consumption in moderate amounts.
