About the only places you would that fruit here is Barcelona and Madrid and maybe Valencia.
Have heard of it but never tried that one.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Is the city very far from where you live? The mangosteen supplier is also very far here.

But as to yet never seen one here at all they would most likely be in the three main cities of this country.

I love trying fruit from other countries but the mangosteen was illegal to possess in the US until 2007. It has since been removed from the contraband list but hasn't made it to markets near me yet.

@DaddyEvil I see, for Lychee and Rambutan I can't eat them because my throat will feels itchy and becomes hoarse.

@May2k8 It was banned for decades because it was believed the fruit harbored the Asian Fruit Flies. No, many fruits are still banned here.
Any time I find fruit from another country I buy some to try. I have found one I can't eat (Star Fruit) because of the chemical composition. I have trouble with my kidneys so shouldn't eat that fruit. And am not fond of a couple of others. Lychee doesn't have enough flavor to be worth the cost of the fruit and Rambutan is much the same.
