Beijing Food Prices -- Mangosteen

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Mangosteen are another special fruit I'd never see before living in China.  They look like old style hand grenades, but inside is a ball of this wonderfully tender sweet white flesh.  They cost 45.80 per kilogram (US$7.34) so each one in this package costs about 81 cents, let's call it 80 cents a pop. Luxury fruit.
