I'm kinda surprised that you guys seem to be amazed by the Mangosteen. It's such a common fruit, not at all something unique or special to Colombia.

[suudikhoirulanam]

That fruits are typical in Indonesia, guanabana = sirsak and mangostinos = manggis, I'm forgot the other one's name but I've seen that fruit, smells like manggo

[tulile]

Guanábana or soursop is a very common fruit in the Caribbean, we had a tree in the backyard in my house in the Dominican Republic when I was a kid.

In my country of Cameroon (in Africa) we have Guanabana too but we call it corossol. It is sooo good and sweet, my dad grows it too.

Thanks Colombia for accepting the refugee from Venezuela

Mangostino is found in Sri Lanka and sometimes India.

Thanks for sharing the positive side of my country, Colombia. there are even more unknown fruits/vegetables to be discover in our nation. Also, the Guanabana is a great treatment for cancer.

My grandparents had 2 guanabana trees and the fruits were kinda dangerous cos they came off really easy and could weigh 10 kilos, they tasted great though
