Ah... Cooling and heatiness. Do you also get gastric after eating duriansundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Fri, 11 Jun 2021 1:13 pmTried them over the years, from the smelliest ones (supposedly with the best taste) to the not too smelly ones. I just don't like them. Smell doesn't bother me at all. Interestingly, I don't like Mangosteens either (cooling and usually an offset to the durian's heatiness). Guess I just don't like 'em. I love Jackfruit though.
It’s the opposite for me. I can’t stand jackfruit, but love love love mangosteens! They are the Queen of fruits for a reason.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Fri, 11 Jun 2021 1:13 pmTried them over the years, from the smelliest ones (supposedly with the best taste) to the not too smelly ones.

I actually find processed durian (puffs and cakes) more approachable than the fresh stuff, although I’d rather avoid it altogether.Rocketboy wrote: ↑Sun, 13 Jun 2021 9:39 amI like durian, not all varieties but red prawn and those that are easy to peel from the seed are the best. I do like it in all the forms except for heavily processed = durian puffs or hot pancakes / pandan waffles with fresh durian - is a yes, chocolate with durian flavored filling is a no
The price comes from the difficulty in cultivating and harvesting the fruit, as well as the fact that it is seasonal. One of my personal favorite fruits is watermelon- they are incredibly high in water content making them very low calorie.midlet2013 wrote: ↑Sat, 12 Jun 2021 11:46 pmI tried Durian and honestly, it was not tasty for me. In a way, I am glad cuz its really one of the costly fruits. I usually only eat Berries now due to low carb - strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. I dont eat other fruits and never drink juice.
I’m not a fan either. To me, no point putting any empty calories into my body if I don’t enjoy what I’m eating. When I’m at the fruit stand with friends or family, I’ll usually opt for other fresh fruit (the stall owners are usually glad to cut it up for you).bro75 wrote: ↑Mon, 14 Jun 2021 8:55 amMy entire family (parents / siblings) loves Durian except for me. When they are here for vacation, off we go to the fruit stand for their fix. They will persuade me to try and I will eat 1 small part. I do not hate the smell or taste , it is just not that delicious for me. My wife does not care for it either.
