Is the harvesting of the mangosteen fruit environmentally friendly?
Protecting the environment is important to XANGO. If only for this reason, XANGO would always use care in harvesting. But there is a practical reason, as well. It takes many years for the mangosteen tree to mature and produce fruit. Because of this, it is critical that the care of the tree and all harvesting techniques meet the highest of standards.
Fortunately, the mangosteen has its own natural defense against pests that includes a yellow latex that it excretes to smother any predators. Because of this, no pesticides are used on the crop that XanGo cultivates for its products. Likewise, XanGo chooses not to use other chemical treatments during the harvest.
