The santol fruit is often mistake n as a type of mangosteen. However, it is not. When ripe and still very firm, the skin is usually washed clean then eaten raw.

The ripe pulp is also used to sour dishes such as sinigang. In Thai cuisine, it is also used semi-ripe in som tum, in a pork dish similar to the Filipinos, and in curries. When the fruit skin begins to yield, the cottony pulp segments inside will become a pleasant sweetness to enjoy raw. Show more
