1. Introduction to durian:
1. Where does durian come from?
There are many places where durian is produced, both domestically and abroad. Abroad, it comes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Myanmar, India, Hawaii, Vietnam and other places, with Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei being the places of origin. Domestically, it is mainly produced in Guangdong, Hainan and other places.
2. What varieties of durian are there?
There are many varieties of durian. Common ones include Monthong, Musang King, Sultan King, Chanee, and Kanyao, among others. Among them, Monthong is the most popular variety. It comes from Thailand and is very popular among women in our country.

2. How much does durian cost per jin these days?
Durian has the reputation of the “king of fruits”, and most of it comes from abroad, so the market price is very high, generally around 15 to 20 yuan per jin. However, due to differences in variety, market and grade, there will be certain differences in price. For example, at the Beijing Dayang Road Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market, the price is around 23 to 26 yuan per jin; at Henan Wanbang International Agricultural Products Logistics Co., Ltd., the price is around 22 yuan per jin; at the Wuxi Xicheng Fruit Wholesale Trading Market, the price is around 16 to 18 yuan per jin; at the Hexi Agricultural and Sideline Products Market in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, the price is around 23 to 27 yuan per jin; and at the Zhejiang Jinhua Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, the price is around 24 to 28 yuan per jin. So the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.
3. What should you do if durian is not ripe?
Generally speaking, most durians sold on the market are ripe, but occasionally you may encounter an unripe one. So if you buy an unripe one, there is no need to worry. The following methods can be used to ripen it:
Method 1: Put it together with fruits such as apples and bananas
Apples and bananas release a gas called ethylene when they ripen, which has a ripening effect. So you can put them together with unripe durian for a period of time, and in this way the durian will ripen.
Method 2: Leave it on the balcony to ripen naturally
Leave the unripe durian on the balcony for two or three days and let the shell slowly crack open, and it will ripen naturally. If a small opening has already appeared, you can wrap it in newspaper or a towel, then leave it for one or two days and it will ripen naturally. During this period, try to keep it in a dry, ventilated place with no insects, so that insects do not get inside and make it inedible.
Method 3: Heat it in a microwave
Wrap the unripe durian in newspaper, then put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, and the durian will ripen and open its shell. However, the texture is not very good this way, and hot durian is not as tasty as durian that has not been heated. So if you are not in a hurry to eat it, it is best to let it ripen naturally.
Method 4: Put it in the refrigerator to chill
Wrap the unripe durian in plastic wrap, then put it in the refrigerator to chill for one or two days, and it will ripen.
Overall, the market price of durian is a bit high. Generally, you can buy one jin for around 15 to 20 yuan, and the expensive ones may cost more than 20 yuan per jin, so the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market. In addition, ripe durian has an open shell. If the shell has not opened, you can put it together with apples and bananas, or wrap it in newspaper and keep it on the balcony, in the refrigerator or other places for a few days, and it will ripen naturally.
