2. Introduction to durian

Durian is a fruit that grows year-round and is relatively suitable for planting in tropical climate zones, with a suitable growing temperature of about 10-46°C. Some durian varieties require the growing area to have annual rainfall of no less than 2,000 mm, relatively high relative air humidity of about 75%-85%, and soil pH of 5.5-6.5. It belongs to the tropical deciduous, arborous trees of the Malvaceae family, with a tree height of 15-20 m. It is generally believed that the East Indies and Malaysia are the places of origin of durian. The Chinese name “durian” does not come from “lingering and reluctant to leave”; “durian” is a loanword and, like “coffee,” is a transliterated word. It makes you ‘linger and forget to return’ after eating it.

Durian leaves are oblong with relatively pointed tips. It has cymose inflorescences, and the flowers are pale yellow. The fruit is the size of a football, the rind is firm and densely covered with triangular spines, and the flesh is composed of aril-packed segments. The flesh is pale yellow, sticky, and juicy. When eating durian for the first time, that unusual smell can make many people “shrink back,” but many people also find, after the first bite, that it is soft and sweet, with an ice cream-like texture when eaten, and they are attracted by durian's special aftertaste and texture. Durian flesh contains a variety of vitamins, is rich in nutrients, and has a unique fragrance. It has the reputation of the “king of fruits.”

Durian is a famous high-quality fine fruit. The ripe flesh is pale yellow, sticky and juicy, soft and sweet, and tastes of aged cheese and onion. At first taste it may seem to have an odd smell, but as you keep eating it, it becomes cool and sweet, with a very good aftertaste, hence the reputation of “lingering (durian) and forgetting to return.” It is also called shaozhi. It is native to Southeast Asia and is called the “king of ten thousand fruits.” When durian is ripe, it falls by itself, usually in the late night or early morning.
