How to choose delicious durian
- It is advisable to choose durians that have a greenish color or slightly yellowish hue because those are the ripe fruits on the tree. If you touch the skin and feel a cream-colored powder, then it is a chemically treated durian that has been artificially ripened.
- Choose a fruit that, when you hold it and shake it lightly, or tap it gently with a durian opener, produces a “thud thud” sound or a dull sound, indicating that the fruit is firm and has thick flesh. If the sound is sharp like “clang clang,” it seems hollow, then that fruit has many seeds and is not tasty.
- Ripe durians will have a more intense aroma compared to chemically treated durians, which usually have a very faint smell or even no smell at all, and their scent is often not natural, causing discomfort to the sense of smell.
