Durian dead fruit is a rotting phenomenon caused by durian that has ripened on the tree but was not picked in time. Although the nutrients and flavor of the dead fruit will be affected, it is still edible.

However, as dead fruits are stored for a longer period of time, they may deteriorate, resulting in poor taste and hard, unsweetened flesh that may cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, it is recommended that the smell of dead fruit, the color of the shell and flesh, etc. be carefully examined before consumption, and it is best not to consume them if they have a bad smell, discoloration or are unusually soft.

In addition, for some special groups of people, such as diabetics, hypertensive patients and those who are allergic to durian, it is recommended to avoid consuming the dead fruit to avoid discomfort.

Overall, although dead durian fruits can be consumed, they should be inspected before consumption to ensure safety. If you are unfamiliar with durian or have concerns about food safety, it is best to consult a professional for advice.
