Pay attention to the following points when judging whether the mangosteen is broken:
1. Appearance: The appearance of the mangosteen should be yellow or orange, and the skin should be smooth without damage or decay. If there are black or brown spots on the skin, or the skin is obviously sunken or soft, it is likely that the mangosteen has been damaged.
2. Smell: The normal mangosteen should have a strong sweet smell. If it smells strange or sour, it is likely that the mangosteen has deteriorated.
3. Hand feeling: The normal mangosteen should be soft and flexible. If the hand feeling becomes very hard or soft, it is likely that the mangosteen has broken.
4. Weight: If the weight of the mangosteen is much lighter than that of the same size, it is likely that the mangosteen has lost water and become shriveled, that is, damaged.
In general, to judge whether the mangosteen is damaged, attention should be paid to the changes in appearance, smell, feel and weight. Only after comprehensive judgment can we determine whether the mangosteen is still edible. If there is any doubt, it is better not to eat it to avoid adverse effects on the body.
