Plus they would most likely be irradiated (if coming from SE Asia). Not sure about the Mexican Mangosteens. Is there a source to purchase Mangosteens from Puerto Rico ?

Is there a source to purchase Mangosteens from Puerto Rico ?I think there is only one farm in Puerto Rico shipping mangosteen to the mainland, called Panoramic Fruits. Those are not irradiated. But they have a very small production and usually sell out very fast. I think they sell through produce distributors like Melissa's in California.http://panormaicfruit.comhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/09/dining/09mang.html?pagewanted=all

I am sold out indefinitely and am not looking for new customers.
lol- that's my asian market ...its down the street from my office
You can probably buy the mangosteen fruits from Melissa's, they do ship, but i think pricey.

Actually the website indicates that "Mangosteens must be irradiated to enter the United States." Since Puerto Rico is part of the United States, no irradiation is necessary.

PR is an unincorporated territory or a Commonwealth of the U.S., not part of the continental U.S. I wonder how this demography affect the irradiation of the mangosteen entering one of the 50 states.
