How to choose durian, pictures of durian

1. How to choose

1. Look at the appearance: the durian skin is khaki or golden yellow, and the thorns are thick and loose, which means it is ripe and has thick flesh.

2. Fruit stalk: If the fruit stalk is connected to the fruit, it means the durian is fresh and has not been stored for a long time. If the fruit stalk is broken or detached from the fruit, it means that it has been stored for a long time and its freshness has been greatly reduced.

3. Listen to the sound: You can gently shake the durian. If there is a slight collision sound, it means it is a ripe durian. In addition, you can use tools such as knife handles or bamboo chopsticks to tap the shell. If the sound is loose and unreal, it means that the flesh and shell have separated and the durian is ripe.

4. Smell: The stronger the smell of the durian, the riper it is. If it smells grassy, it's not ripe yet, but if it smells like alcohol, the flesh has gone bad.

2. How much to eat

Durian is rich in nutrients and can nourish the body, strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, relieve menstrual pain, etc. Eating it regularly is good for your health. However, eating too much can easily cause symptoms of heat such as lip ulcers. Therefore, you must eat durian in moderation. Generally, it is best to eat about 100g at a time. If you are trying to lose fat or control your blood sugar, you must eat less durian, and it is best to eat half the amount.
