The fruits are rather large drupes with a fleshy exocarp and a thin, woody endocarp. It is a drupe with a stony endocarp, fleshy mesocarp and soft exocarp. The exocarp and mesocarp make up the "husk" of the coconuts. The flavedo and albedo, respectively, are the exocarp and the mesocarp. Like other fruits, it has three layers&colon; the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. Usually, it has the color of the outer peel (exocarp). Once fully ripe they are quite soft, with a leathery, thick exocarp. The exocarp (flesh) is generally pale yellowish-white, though pink or yellow exocarps also occur. Occasionally, during peeling of ripe fruits, the purple exocarp juice may stain skin or fabric. In addition, mangosteen rind (exocarp) extract is used as a spice. The epicarp is sometimes called the exocarp, or, especially in "citrus", the flavedo.
