How much is a pound of durian? How to choose durian

1. How much is one pound

The price of durian is mainly related to factors such as origin, purchase time, and variety. Generally speaking, a pound of ordinary varieties of durian on the market costs less than 20 yuan, while one durian costs about 100 yuan. However, the prices of different varieties can vary greatly. For example, the price of a pound of golden pillow durian is twice that of ordinary varieties, and a pound of Maoshan durian may cost around 100 yuan.

2. How to choose

1. Observe the skin: When choosing durian, you can observe its skin. The thicker and looser the conical thorns on the skin, the more fruit there will be and the thicker and more delicate the flesh will be.

2. Pinch the thorns: You can pull the two thorns on the durian skin with your hands. If it is easy to approach, it means it is a ripe durian.

3. Listen to the sound: Pick up the durian and shake it, and observe the feeling and sound of the collision between the flesh and the shell. If you can feel a slight bump or a soft clinking sound, the fruit is ripe when the flesh comes out of the shell.

4. Look at the color: If the shell color is golden yellow or khaki, it means the durian is ripe.

5. Observe the cracks: Ripe durian will have cracks. The flesh of durian without cracks will taste a bit crispy and not smooth.

6. Smell: If you smell a smell of alcohol in the durian, it means that the durian has gone bad and you must not buy it.
