Liulian is the most famous in Thailand and is known as the "king of fruits". Its smell is very strong, people who love it praise its smell, and people who hate it complain about its smell. So hotels, trains, planes and public places are not allowed to be brought in. Thai people especially like durian and are often attracted by its special fragrance. The proverbs of "classic sarong, buy durian, durian is red, suitcase is empty" and "wife will eat durian" are popular in Thailand, which shows how much Thai people love durian. Yu Dafu, a China writer, wrote in Travel Notes of Nanyang that durian smells like rotten cheese and onions, and turpentine. It's really smelly, fragrant and delicious. But people who have never eaten durian will teach you to eat more after the first bold taste. After tasting the delicious durian, many tourists will have endless aftertaste and even become addicted. Therefore, Thai durian is sold all over the world every year, especially in Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, Japan, Europe and America, and now it is also sold to China.
Durian is oval, generally weighing about 2 kilograms, with a wooden hard shell outside and a room inside. Every room has three or four seeds as big as egg yolk, with ten to fifteen. The seeds are covered with a layer of ointment, that is, pulp, milky yellow. It tastes sweet and fragrant. Valuable varieties of durian cost 300-400 baht each, and general varieties also need about 100 baht. You can know the advantages and disadvantages of durian from the epidermis. The thick and sparse cones generally develop well, with many fruits and thick and delicate pulp. If the thorns are thin and dense, the fruit and pulp are thin and the meat is thick. Durian has high nutritional value. Besides high sugar content, it also contains protein, fat, vitamin C, calcium, iron and phosphorus. Liulian is a hot fruit, and drinking is prohibited within nine hours after eating Liulian. Durian is full of treasures, the core can be cooked and roasted, and it tastes like a semi-cooked sweet potato. Cooked durian can treat sensitive skin sores and itching. Pomegranate peel can be combined with other chemicals to synthesize soap, and can also be used as a dermatological drug. Liulian is a woody persimmon plant, the tallest fruit tree in tropical areas, with a trunk as high as 25 to 40 meters. A tree can produce eighty durians a year. Durian will mature in ten days after it is picked from the tree. There are 200 varieties of durian in Thailand, and 60 to 80 kinds are widely planted at present. Among them, there are three most famous species: the light species are monochloro, Jiaoluntong, Harufuji, Jinzhen and Chani, which bear fruit after four or five years; Medium-sized species have long stems and long valleys, and bear fruit in six to eight years; The re-planting is Kampong and Ina, and the result is eight years. They bear fruit once a year, and the maturity time is one or two months apart.
Among them, people are familiar with (1) "Golden Pillow" and (Meng Tong), which are the most popular ones at present. The meat is rich and sweet, and the flesh is golden yellow. Often one of the petals is large, called "main meat", because the smell is not too strong, so it is very suitable for beginners to "get started" eating this smelly and fragrant fruit. Nowadays, gold pillows can be eaten all year round, but the price varies with the season. The price is the cheapest and the peak season is the best. (2) "Shani" has a small leaf, a small head, a lot of meat, a small core, a cheaper price than a golden pillow, and dark yellow flesh. (3) Long stalks: It is named because the stalks of this durian are longer than other varieties. The stem of this variety is long and round, and the whole durian is mainly round. The pulp and stone are also round, with turquoise skin, dense thorns, large stone, less pulp but delicate and strong taste; (4) Grain Night Cover: The meat is particularly delicate, sweet as dense, and the core tip is small. It is welcomed by "foodies" and is the most expensive kind of durian. Liulian, Thailand, has a vast production area. From warm Li Wu in the middle to Luo Yong in the mobile part, Bazhen Buli's nostalgia won the championship. The durian company in southern Thailand is not as good as the durian company in central and eastern Thailand. However, due to its late maturity, "scarcity is the most important" after other durian companies have reached the peak season.
Buying durian is also a kind of learning. Whether a durian is delicious or not is not only related to the variety, origin, climate, fertilization and picking time, but also important to cut and feed it in time. Because it is eaten before it is cooked, durian is hard and light, tastes like chewing wax, and will not be delicious. Therefore, when purchasing, you may wish to consult the manufacturer. They will tap durian with a small bamboo stick to identify its maturity, and at the same time decide whether it can be cut open by sniffing, or you can choose fruit stalls or supermarkets that have cut their skins and only sell meat, so that you can see and feel whether they are ripe by pressing them with your naked eyes and fingers. At the same time, a person can't eat a durian at a time, so it's a good idea to buy some at a time.
There are two theories about the origin of durian in Thailand. One originated in Malaysia and was introduced to Thailand during the Dacheng Dynasty. In Malay, Liulian is called "Tuliang", while in Thai it is still called "Liulian", which is translated into Chinese. Another way of saying it was introduced from Tahuai, Mali and naoshi in Myanmar. There are also two legends about this. One is 1787. When the Siamese army attacked Myanmar, it tried to seize his arms, but failed to conquer it. During the siege. Due to the difficulty in transportation and the lack of food and grass in the army, the generals had to order their soldiers to find wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. The soldiers found a huge prickly fruit durian in the forest. When they tried to cut it open, it was unexpectedly sweet and delicious. Later, when they returned to Bangkok, many officers and men took pomegranate seeds with them and planted them around their houses. It is said that durian trees have been growing for 100 to 150 years in the yard of the descendants of officers and men who have been to Myanmar in Bangkok in the past. Due to the two floods in 187 1 year and 1942, these durian trees became extinct. The second type was introduced into southern Thailand by merchant ships between Thailand and Myanmar, and later spread from Surat Thani to Bangkok and other places.

In fact, as far as nutrition is concerned, this kind of fruit is the most comprehensive, but it is hot and sluggish, which may not be suitable for everyone.

The luckiest thing is that you are addicted to durian, and your constitution belongs to the generation of deficiency and cold. Because durian is hot, it can just strengthen yang and help fire. If postpartum deficiency is cold. Might as well use this as a tonic. But some people are sweating profusely, their limbs are weak, and some people are too weak to sleep, their faces are red and their mouths are dry.
