Introduction to durian core, how to make durian core

Durian core

Durian season is here again. The big durians with their mouths wide open are displayed on the fruit stalls. The light yellow flesh is slightly visible under the edge, just like the half-exposed breasts of a hot girl, making you salivate.

It is quite expensive to buy a durian, which can easily cost dozens of yuan. After you take out the flesh of a big durian and eat it, the remaining shell and core will take up more than half of the weight. Don’t you think it is not cost-effective? But when you know that the whole durian is a treasure, and you can utilize the surplus value of the discarded durian shell and durian core to nourish you inside and out, you will feel that you have gotten a good deal, and it will not seem like a luxury to eat it.

Using durian shell to make soup is a special dish even for Cantonese people who "drink all kinds of soup". Durian flesh is hot in nature, but durian shell is a good thing to reduce internal heat. Simply boil it in light salt water and drink it, it can reduce internal heat and relieve stagnation, which just offsets the heat of eating durian flesh, so you don't have to worry about getting internal heat from eating too much.

Durian shell stewed with local chicken soup is delicious and refreshing, and is a refreshing and nourishing soup for both the old and the young.

How to make durian core

1. Use a knife to cut off the white flesh on the durian shell and cut it into pieces;

2. Cut a free-range chicken into pieces, blanch it in water and remove it from the water;

3. Boil water in a clay pot, add chicken, durian flesh, onion, ginger, cooking wine, and a few peppercorns, cook over high heat for 20 minutes, then simmer for an hour over low heat, season with salt and serve. The starch in the durian flesh will dissolve after long cooking, making the soup thicker. The soup is sweet and refreshing without any strange smell, which is acceptable to most people. If the main ingredients are replaced with ribs or duck, it is also OK.

The efficacy of durian seeds

Clears and replenishes Qi, moisturizes and nourishes Yin.

In addition to durian shells, which can be used to make chicken soup and pork ribs soup, durian cores can also be used to make soup. After peeling the skin, put it in the pot with the main ingredients and stew it until it is soft and sticky, like taro or chestnuts. It has the effect of nourishing the kidney and spleen, and some even say that its nutritional value exceeds that of the flesh. Durian cores can also be put together with other fruits to make sweet soup, but I haven't tried it yet to see if it tastes good.

Bathing with water boiled in durian shells is not only good for the skin, but also can treat skin itching, especially itching in the middle-aged and elderly. I put it into practice immediately after hearing about it. I dug out the inner white flesh of the durian shell and put it in a large pot to boil water for bathing. I didn't expect that the boiled water was not the original smell of durian at all, but a very nice natural vanilla smell. After filtering with gauze, it was directly used for bathing. After the bath, the body exudes a faint fragrance. It is also OK to use a towel to wipe the body directly, but it should be noted that white towels will turn yellow after being soaked in water. If it cannot be washed off, it is best to use an old towel for bathing. Don't rinse with clean water after washing with durian water, so that the skin care effect is good. This is a very good natural bath agent, and it is used to its full potential, so why not do it?
