What to do if durian is not ripe? How to eat raw durian

1. Use fruit to ripen raw durian before eating

If you find that the durian you bought is not ripe, you can take out the durian flesh inside, then wrap it with plastic wrap, put it in the same plastic bag with ripe fruits such as apples, tie the mouth, and put it in a warm place. When you take it out and eat it after two days, you will find that the durian flesh has become softer and more fragrant. This is because apples release ethylene during storage, and ethylene accelerates the ripening of durian.

2. Microwave raw durian before eating it

If you open a durian and find that the flesh is very hard and cannot be eaten directly, and you don’t want to store it for a few days and want to eat it immediately, you can put the durian in a plastic bag and put it in the microwave. Let the microwave work for two minutes and take out the durian flesh. At this time, the durian flesh will become soft and can be eaten directly.

3. Raw durian can be processed with newspaper before eating

If the durian you bought is not ripe and has not been opened, you can use newspaper to process it. The specific method is to wrap the durian with newspaper, and then light the newspaper. After it is burned, wrap the durian with another newspaper and put it in a warm place. After two or three days, the raw durian will become ripe and can be opened and eaten directly.
