Special Tips

Durian that naturally cracks after ripening cannot be stored for too long; if you smell a smell of alcohol, it must have gone bad, so don't buy it.

Because durian has a thick texture and easily accumulates in the intestines, drinking more boiled water can aid digestion.

Healthy traffic lights

Durian contains high potassium, so people with kidney disease and heart disease should eat less.

Although durian is delicious, you should not eat too much at one time, otherwise it will easily cause the body to become hot and dry. Its rich nutrition will also cause "getting angry" because the stomach and intestines cannot fully absorb it. The way to eliminate the heat is to drink some light salt water or eat some fruits with more water to balance it while eating durian. Pears and watermelons are both good choices. However, the best partner of durian is mangosteen, which is called the "Queen of Fruits". Only it can easily subdue the heat of the "King of Fruits" and protect the body from damage. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, durian is hot and stagnant in nature. People with hot gas constitution or sore throat, cough, cold, tracheal sensitivity and diabetes are not suitable to eat more durian, otherwise it will worsen the condition and is not good for the body. Moreover, durian should not be eaten with alcohol to avoid causing food properties to counteract and cause damage to the body.

When buying durian, you should choose fruits with hilly appearance, complete and regular fruit shape, dark brown skin and strong flavor. If you feel something when shaking it, it is a top-quality fruit. Don't think that the heavier the better. In fact, lighter durians often have small cores, but don't choose durians that look green. The durian you buy should be tightly wrapped in newspapers to prevent its thorns from hurting children. Durian has a ripening effect and should be stored in a cool place. The ripe fruit will crack. At this time, you can take out the flesh, put it in a fresh-keeping bag and store it in the refrigerator. After being chilled, it will have the taste of ice cream. If the flesh becomes sour, it means that the durian has deteriorated and should not be eaten.
