king of fruit: durian

durian is a famous high-quality fruit. Produced in Southeast Asian countries, in recent years, Thailand has vigorously developed this variety, and its output has increased year by year. Durian, an evergreen tree of Kapok family, is 15-2 meters high. The leaves are long and round, with sharp tips, cymes, light yellow in color, the size of a fruit football, solid in peel and dense with triangular thorns, and the pulp is composed of aril, which is light yellow, sticky and juicy, soft and sweet, and tastes like ice cream. Durian pulp contains 11% starch, 13% sugar, 3% protein, and a variety of vitamins, so it is quite nutritious. After Thai people get sick and women give birth, durian is used to nourish their bodies. Locals all regard it as the "king of tropical fruits".

Durian is a treasure all over, and its shell boiled with bone soup is a good tonic, especially the nutritional value and medicinal value of its stone, which is regarded as a treasure by the producers. Some senior officials take durian as a noble gift when they visit abroad. There used to be a folk proverb in Thailand: "durian comes out, but the sand cage comes off." It means that girls would rather take off their skirts and sell them than feast on durian.

Durian is called "the king of fruits" and has various legends. It is said that in ancient times, a group of men and women crossed the ocean from China and went to Nanyang. When the boat capsized in a storm, only a pair of men and women drifted for a few days to reach a beautiful island. The islanders picked a kind of fruit for them to eat, and soon recovered their physical strength. They never wanted to go home again, so they became husband and wife and had children here. Later, people named this fruit "durian", which means people can't leave. In Singapore, the family of the older generation is generally not rich when they are young. Whenever durian is fragrant, the family will even sell their rickshaws for business, just in exchange for the joy when the family tastes durian. In Thailand, there is a folk proverb, "durian comes out, but less cage comes off", which means that girls would rather take off their skirts and sell them, but also have a full meal of durian. Now in Thailand, durian is still a good product for women to replenish their bodies after giving birth.

eating durian in a bud cage is bound to be difficult to associate with ladies and gentlemen. People who like it there like the shopping mall that is self-satisfied, without the disguise of famous brands and cheating. Just wear a home T-shirt and slippers, bring your beloved family, or call a few buddies, sit on the side of the road and chop loudly, while watching the slowly crawling vehicles around you, while tasting delicious durian. Some people say that durian will never go to the elegant hall. If durian leaves the bud cage and enters the supermarket, it will feel a little less flavor after being wrapped in layers of insurance film. Three years ago, when my husband and I went to Harbin to enjoy the snow, we actually saw a durian in a supermarket surrounded by fruits at a very high price. At that time, the feeling was like seeing a country partner we had not seen for many years in a foreign land, and we were happy and sour.
