Anyone know where I can find fresh mangosteen in Southern California?

Question

My cousin in Minnesota says Cub Foods will start carrying this product next week, so I have to believe it's available somewhere here in Southern California.

Answer 1

I didn't know that you could find it fresh.  the product is extremely perishable.  you can find it as a juice, canned, or freeze dried.  juice=costco; canned= 99 Ranch market; freeze dried= Trader Joe's

Answer 2

I live in Australia and we get the fruit seasonally,  since it comes from Sri Lanka [on a whole] you could approach your asian groceries and ask them to order them for you

cheers

Answer 3

Asian markets like 99 Ranch Markets (all over So Cal) have fresh mangosteens all the time......in their fresh produce section, you can also buy them canned as well.....Enjoy!!!

Answer 4

check asian food places, mangosteen is common canned, so i'm guessing they may carry it fresh as well. Bring a picture with you in case you need to ask a clerk (who may or may not speak english)
