How to eat durian

How to eat durian: raw

The simplest way to eat durian is to eat it raw. It feels really good to "deconstruct" the durian flesh and eat it in big chunks!

In addition, cut the durian into small cubes, add some ice cream, stir it, and it will become durian ice! This way of eating can cover up the taste of durian and is suitable for beginners.

1. When eating durian for the first time, you should eat it in small bites

It is recommended to take small bites at first to get used to it, and you will soon fall in love with the taste. But don't eat too much at one time, because its rich nutrition cannot be fully absorbed by the stomach and intestines, and durian is warm in nature, so eating too much can easily cause internal heat.

2. Don’t eat too much durian. The daily intake should not exceed 100 grams.

Because durian has a thick texture, it will absorb water and swell in the stomach and intestines. Eating too much will block the intestines and cause constipation.

3. People who should not eat durian

Durian is high in calories and sugar, so obese people should eat less, and diabetics should not eat it at all. It also contains high potassium, so people with kidney disease and heart disease should eat less.
