Durian is one of the famous tropical fruits, originally from Malaysia. Some countries in Southeast Asia have more crops, among which Thailand has the most. It is also planted in China, Guangdong and Hainan. Durian is the most famous in Thailand and is known as the "king of fruit". Its smell is strong, and those who love it praise its fragrance, while those who hate it complain about its smell.

Durian is hot, which can promote blood circulation to dispel cold and relieve dysmenorrhea, especially suitable for women suffering from dysmenorrhea. It can also improve the symptoms of abdominal coldness, and promote the temperature rise. It is an ideal tonic for people with cold constitution. Durian has extremely high nutritional value. Regular consumption can strengthen the body, invigorate the spleen and qi, tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, and warm the body.

Durian is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and treat constipation. However, it should be noted that eating durian can cure constipation by drinking more boiled water. Otherwise, the rich fiber has no water to suck, which will suck the water in the intestine.

Extended information

There are 2 varieties of durian in Thailand, but 6 to 8 kinds are widely planted. Among them, there are three most famous species: light species: Yi Luan, Jiao Lun Tong, Chun Fu Shi, Jin Zhen and Cha Ni, which bear fruit after four or five years; Medium species: long stalks and valleys, bearing fruit in six to eight years; Heavy species: Gambang and Ina, bearing fruit in 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 (Mengtong), which is a very popular one. It is rich and sweet, and the flesh is golden yellow. Often, one of the petals is relatively large, which is 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. Golden pillows can be eaten all year round, but the price varies with the season. The price is the cheapest and the best in the peak season.

(2) among the qingni, the ones with small leaves, small head, plenty of meat and small core are more popular, the price is cheaper than the head, and the dark yellow flesh is better.

(3) Long stalk: It is named because the stalk of this durian is longer than other varieties. The stalk 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 flavor.

(4) Gu Yetao: The meat is particularly delicate, sweet as honey, and the tip of the stone is small, which is welcomed by the "eaters" and is the most expensive durian. The durian in Thailand has a vast producing area, ranging from nonthaburi in the central part to Rayong in the mobile part, and the durian in Bazhenburi has won the championship. Durian in southern Thailand is inferior to that in central and eastern Thailand, with big kernel and small meat. However, due to its late maturity, after the other durian seasons, it is "scarce".
