1. Look at the appearance. Larger durians have more water and a sweeter taste. Durian, which has a pointed tail and elongated appearance, has thin skin, thick flesh, and small seeds. When selecting, try to choose durians with a hilly and mace-like appearance.
2. Observe the color. Under normal circumstances, a golden durian is mature, but if the color is too dark or even brown, it means the durian is overly mature. If the golden color is too light and green, it means an immature durian.
3. Weigh the durian with your hands. For durians of the same size, the heavier they are, the bigger the core is. Therefore, when choosing durians of the same size, choose lighter ones that have more pulp.
4. Observe the cracks in the durian itself. Mature durian fruits will naturally split. When shopping in the supermarket, it is generally better to choose durians that look like they are about to split. Such durians are ripe enough and can be stored for a while.
5. Smell. Good durians are more fragrant and have a strong smell. When selecting, if you smell something like green grass, it means the durian is not mature enough. If you smell alcohol, the pulp inside the durian may have rotted.
6. Gently shake the durian. During the shaking process, if there is a slight collision sound, it proves that the pulp is mature and has separated from the shell, and it would be more appropriate to choose this type of durian.
