Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hi Suzanne, Most of the asian markets up in vancouver should carry mangosteen (as well as durian, of course!). i've also bought fresh mangosteen, passionfruit and starfruit at Granville market in vancouver. Granville market is the touristy outdoor market, is beautiful, though only has one organic stand! Organic produce in vancouver (we've shopped at Choices, Capers, etc) is very expensive and not the freshest. We are truly blessed with good organics here in Seattle. To Helen in Everett, I'm willing to bet most of your co-workers will not like the durian you bring in (you may get to eat it all yourself!). I was very opposed to trying it... finally tried it and thought it was " surprisingly not disgusting considering the smell " and then had it in a pie and found it suddenly irresistable. it is definitely an acquired taste. When i was at the Tree one of my apprenticemate's boyfriends traveled from miami with a durian for her, he got lots of dirty looks on the plane. That is true love.
