Question: Is Sharon fruit and Mangosteen one and the same fruit?

I have seen pictures of the Mangosteen and it looks very much like the sharon fruit apart from colour. I had one today and it tasted quite like a mango ....this set me off thinking that it might be the same fruit with a different name.

Answer: The sharon fruit is actually a persimmon, which is very sweet and could possibly taste very similar: Mangosteen: The fruit, capped by the prominent calyx at the stem end and with 4 to 8 triangular, flat remnants of the stigma in a rosette at the apex, is round, dark-purple to red-purple and smooth externally; 1 1/3 to 3 in (3.4-7.5 cm) in diameter. The rind is 1/4 to 3/8 in (6-10 mm) thick, red in cross-section, purplish-white on the inside. It contains bitter yellow latex and a purple, staining juice. There are 4 to 8 triangular segments of snow-white, juicy, soft flesh (actually the arils of the seeds). The fruit may be seedless or have 1 to 5 fully developed seeds, ovoid-oblong, somewhat flattened, 1 in (2.5 cm) long and 5/8 in (1.6 cm) wide, that cling to the flesh. The flesh is slightly acid and mild to distinctly acid in flavor and is acclaimed as exquisitely luscious and delicious.

Persimmon:Sharon-fruit is a good source of Vitamin A which is required for healthy skin, mucus membranes and for night vision. The fruit have significantly high levels of sodium, potassium and magnesium, iron, calcium. Eating one Sharon fruit a day is enough to help prevent heart attacks and reducing the risk of heart diseases.

An average size fruit is only 70 calories. Eaten fresh, Sharon fruit is a healthy, convenient snack for adults and children. Versatile in recipes, good for salads, dessert or stir-fries. Also now available in Sharon fruit flavours: Jams, atjar, chutney, dried fruit.
