Durian (King of Fruits)

Durian is the undisputed King of Fruits, boasting custard-like flesh that is both creamy and divisive. Its pungent aroma may polarize, but the taste delivers 45% more sugar than the average tropical fruit, with a buttery texture reminiscent of cheesecake. Outperforms #2 Mangosteen in sheer caloric density, providing 357 calories per pound—making it a hearty energy source. This bold fruit can be found across Thai markets for as low as NT$120 per kilo in season, and its unique profile, including hints of almond and vanilla, ensures no other fruit matches its complexity. For those who dare, the durian’s rich flavor is an unforgettable experience.
