Mangosteen Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a slow-growing evergreen tree of the mangosteen family, Clusiaceae, native to the Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands and grown across Southeast Asia and, more recently, in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. It grows 6-25 m with a conical crown, thick, glossy, dark green leaves and reddish flowers. The round, tennis-ball-sized fruit has a thick, deep purple rind with a persistent green calyx and holds segments of snow-white, sweet-tart, fragrant flesh. The rind is bitter and tannic and stains deep purple. We extract the dried juice powder.
