I trust those sellers who are open about how to choose durians. Those who are unhappy about this and that when you choose, get out.

[@madxp9668]

Fruit that perfect in shape are mostly planted from seeds, and the odd shapes the Cresent ones are mostly grafted from selected trees(mostly tasted really good or better type or flavor, generally superior)

Because during the month of June, whether is hot, especially in Malaysia, that’s why is the season now. Not demand

Where was this video taken? Is that price in dollars?

[@amrozh985]

I just smell and knew if it's acidic or not. Never goes wrong. The certain kind a smell will tell if it's delicious or not

How do you choose it if it’s frozen?

[@sdqsdq6274]

durian are not meant to be frozen

[@c.r.6172]

True or false: Export durians are pre cut from trees for faster havesting then carbide soaked to heighten ripening at the other end?

[@madxp9668]

Those are Thailand durian
If u ask Malaysias to do so, probably u asking for war, they usually wait for the durian to ripe and drop naturally without hitting the ground to prevent it from start fermentation, then freeze them in liquid nitrogen then export it to China or futhur countries

[@amrozh985]

True . It's Thai style in doing with most fruits. That's why, their fruits taste funny. Same to longan, mangoes etc

[@daisuke910]

@@madxp9668 yes. This is to preserve the quality.

[@raphaelng6881]

Dr Durian speak volume not loud enough. sometime cannot hear clearly.

[@perwiranegara4679]

It's always hard to choose durian that can fully match your expectation. but they can still taste differently despite the similarity in colours
I agree that Musang King usually has 2 flavours.. predominantly sweet or bitter. Always choose one with a good strong aroma and reject if there's no smell at all when u sniff it
And u don't need to get the durian close to your ear when shaking it. Just hold it tight horizontally with both hands and shake. U should feel the pulps inside moving slightly if the durian is fully ripe

[@itelephone8796]

How to eat? Covid around lah.

[@mytwocents4768]

Hahaaa no more exist

[@saltyjo7514]

Learning to choose durians in Singapore is just like learning to choose wine in mexico and learning to select cheeses in China. Singapore does not produce durians. Please go to Thailand and Malaysia.

[@sdqsdq6274]

[@7070NOB]

Don’t see the difference in color.
