How to identify the quality of durian?

Durian is quite popular in modern life because it is a rare tropical fruit delicacy in the past. It has a very unique flavor, tastes rich and fragrant, has very high nutritional value, and has many benefits to the human body. However, due to the large shape of durian, people know very little about it, especially in terms of maturity. Let's take a look at how to identify the quality of durian.

How to choose durian:

1. The quality of durian can be judged from the skin. Durian with thick and sparse conical thorns is generally well-developed, with many grains and thick and delicate flesh. If the thorns are sharp and dense, the grains and flesh are thin and the meat is coarse. Another way to judge is to use your hand to pull two adjacent thorns closer together. If they can easily touch each other, they are ripe.

2. Carefully place the fingers of both hands on the depressions between the thorns on both sides of the durian, gently pick up the durian, and after holding it firmly, gently shake the durian with your hands. If you feel a slight collision inside, or a slight sound, it proves that the flesh is ripe and has separated from the shell. Such durian is a good and ripe durian.

3. You can also tell whether the durian is ripe by identifying the size and color of the fruit. The principle is the same as choosing watermelons. Generally speaking, larger durians are more mature. Judging from the color of the shell, a good and ripe durian is a more transparent yellow. If it is more green, it proves that it is not ripe enough.

4. When the durian cracks, it is fully ripe. The fragrance of the uncracked durian is not too strong, and the flesh tastes a bit crispy and not smooth enough. For beginners, it is best to buy durian when it is 70% to 80% ripe, so that it does not have a strong smell.

5. It should be noted that the durian that naturally cracks after ripening cannot be stored for too long. If you buy it in a supermarket, please smell the durian first. If you smell alcohol, it must have gone bad, so don't buy it.

Durian eating taboos:

1. Durian should not be eaten together with alcohol: because both alcohol and durian are hot and dry things. If diabetic patients eat them together, it will cause blood vessel blockage, and in severe cases, blood vessels may burst and stroke may occur. Therefore, it is not suitable for consumption.

2. People with hot constitution, sore throat and cough, cold, yin deficiency, and tracheal sensitivity will make their condition worse by eating durian. It is not good for the body and should not be eaten.
