How to soften hard durian:

First, store it in a warm environment

If the durian you bought is very hard, you can store it in a warm environment. Store it in a sealed carton or in a warm environment. The durian will ripen and the pulp will become soft after being left in a warm environment for a period of time.

Second, fruit ripening method

We all know that unripe persimmons, bananas, mangoes and other fruits are placed together with ripe fruits, or placed in rice. All can be ripened by emitting ethylene, and the same is true for durian. Put unripe durians and ripe fruits together, and the hard durian flesh will slowly become soft.

Third, heat the durian in the microwave

Wrap the hard durian meat in plastic wrap and put it in the microwave for a few minutes. The durian meat will become soft, but the taste will definitely still be the same. It's not as good as ripe durian, but it's still manageable.

Fourth, Frozen Durian Method

If the durian meat is too hard and tastes bad, then try mashing the durian meat in a blender and adding some milk or yogurt to make durian. Dessert, or freezing it into durian ice cream is also a good way to eat it.
