Thinking of getting a durian? 🍈 Don’t just go with your nose — go with knowledge!
Here are some smart tips to help you pick the perfect one:
✅ Short & thick stem = more flesh
✅ Sweet smell with a hint of bitterness = just right
✅ Lighter durians = smaller seeds, more meat
✅ Rattle when shaken = ripe and ready
✅ Big, short, widely spaced spikes = better quality
✅ 5 segments at the crown = more flesh
❌ Avoid during rainy season – many aren’t fully ripe!
Shh… don’t tell the seller you know this 😉
