These just came in at my local Asian market. They look a lot fresher than they normally are, plus they're red instead of purple. Does this mean they're kokum mangosteens? I know they're red. Or it just that they're actually not overripe and regular mangosteens are redder at this sage of ripeness?

They look like garcinia mangostana fruits to me.
When squeezed, do they have some tenderness/give or are they hard?
Also, how do they look on the inside, and how is the texture and taste?

Seems like garcinia mangostana, the purple mangosteen
-
Yep, it tasted like regular mangosteen.

The slight red is most likely becuSe it was licked earlier when some people like them more tart, or for transport.

Eeewww...I would never buy fruit that was previously licked.
