Foods in Focus

Mangosteen, dubbed the Queen of Fruit, is purported to have anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. It showed up at the Winter Fancy Food Show with Adam's 100% Mangosteen Nectar (in the Savor California booth). Adam Heller discovered the Southeast Asian fruit-described as a combination of plum, lychee and coconut with a sweet tangy taste-while living in Hong Kong, which gave him the opportunity to sample the fruits of the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. In 2000, Heller launched Mangosteen Juice with Extra Xanthones, a health food supplement. Mangosteen Nectar was introduced last June and is recommended for us in smoothies, sorbets or mixed with club soda.
