[ORDERS NOW CLOSED] The 2024 QLD mangosteen season. We are TRIALLING INTERSTATE and outside Sydney postage in a Parcel via Chilled Courier.

[UPDATE 4 April 2024: We will dispatch Daintree mangosteens on Mon 8 April to interstate orders].

Purple Mangosteens. Garcinia mangostana. Enjoy fresh, sweet and juicy purple mangosteens grown in Far North Queensland.

These fresh picked mangosteens will be packed and shipped via Chilled Courier from Sydney to rural NSW, ACT, QLD, and VIC only. We are unable to ship to NT, SA, WA & TAS due to biosecurity permit requirements and expensive chilled courier costs. 

Once harvest begins, the mangosteens will be shipped in bulk to Sydney then dispatched via chilled courier.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE 5KG PARCEL?

We estimate 4kg fruit will be approx 30-40pcs of mangosteens. Mangosteen size selection is not available, and it will be what fits into a suitable chilled parcel box. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: 4kg will be mixed sized mangosteen fruit; 500g will be packaging and padding. Photos are required for any disputes on fruit quality for refunds. THERE WILL BE A $60 ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR ANY ISSUES. See Returns Policy page https://www.thethornyfruit.com.au/pages/returns-and-refunds-policy

⚠️ STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Never store whole fruit mangosteens in the fridge. This will cause the fruit to go hard and become inedible. Mangosteens must be kept at room temperature at all times, or chilled above 15°C.

If the skin colour is a little reddish, it is mature and lightly ripened with sour-sweet flavour. It can continue to darken to a dark purple colour and will be a bit sweeter.

If you wish to store longer, you can choose to peel the skin and store the white pulp flesh in a container in the fridge (last 2-3 weeks and may oxidise), or freezer (may have freezer burn, but will last 1-3 months).

If you have issues with our mangosteens, please read the Returns Policy. We require photographic evidence to process any credit claims. We assure quality, and freshness.
