What are the benefits and effects of durian? A detailed guide in one article
Durian is known as the king of tropical fruits, and its unique taste makes it deeply loved by the public. Durian is a seasonal fruit with a very short production season. In order to supply consumers around the world throughout the year, producers carefully select high-quality, delicious-fleshed durian during the peak season in Thailand, and use the most advanced -45°C rapid freezing system for instant flash freezing followed by vacuum drying. This drying technology can fully preserve the sweet original flavor and nutritional value of durian. Vacuum freeze-dried durian is made from 100% durian pulp, with absolutely no additives. It is rich in protein and vitamins, high in fiber, and has zero cholesterol, making it an ideal green food for modern urban people. For vacuum freeze-dried durian, fresh fruit pulp is first placed in a freeze dryer, then immediately flash frozen, causing the moisture in the pulp to turn into ice crystals. It is then placed in a vacuum container for sublimation, which means the ice is directly converted into steam. With this method, aside from removing only the moisture, the pulp can still maintain its original form, and it better preserves the original nutritional value and the vitamins and minerals of fresh fruit.

2. Enhancing immunity. Durian fruit contains a complete range and abundant content of amino acids. In addition to tryptophan, it also contains 7 essential amino acids for the human body, among which glutamic acid is especially high. Animal experiments further prove that glutamic acid is an important precursor of nucleic acids, nucleotides, amino sugars, and proteins, participates in their synthesis and metabolism, can improve the body's immune function, regulate the body's acid-base balance, and improve the body's ability to adapt to stress. The reason durian fruit has a strengthening and tonifying effect on the human body, besides containing relatively rich beneficial elements such as zinc, should also be related to the synergistic effect of its aroma components and other nutrients...
