Tip 1: Pinch the spikes. Durian that is ripe can be sweet and waxy. If you accidentally buy an immature durian, its flesh is often hard and astringent, making it unpalatable. If you want to know the maturity of durian, you can know it through a "little action". This fat "mace" is covered with dense spikes. Select two adjacent spikes, hold the tips of the spikes with your hands, and pinch them inward with a little force. If it is easier, If you can get them "close" to each other, it proves that the durian is softer and more mature; if it feels very solid and cannot be pinched at all, it proves that the durian is relatively raw.

Tip 2: Look at the size. By identifying the size and appearance color of the fruit, you can also identify whether the durian is ripe. The same principle as choosing watermelons, generally speaking, larger durians will be more mature. Judging from the color of the shell, mature durians are more transparent yellow. If there is more green color, it proves that they are not mature enough.

Tip 3: Look at the degree of cracking. Many people think that durians that open naturally are good durians, but this is not necessarily the case. If you like to use this method, you should pay attention to identify several situations. Generally speaking, durians that have been tested through the above two methods "Tip 1" and "Tip 2" will be relatively good, and they do not necessarily have to be opened. If you want to choose a fruit with a cracked shell, it is best to choose one with a small crack, that is, one that has just begun to crack, because if the fruit has already cracked, the exposed pulp will be easily contaminated and will deteriorate easily. If you choose a durian that is relatively mature and has just opened, it is best to enjoy it as soon as possible after returning home. Do not leave it for a long time, otherwise it will easily deteriorate.

Tip 4: Smell the smell. When buying, if you like durians with natural openings, you can smell the durian through the cracks in the shell. Immature durians have a "green smell", that is to say, they smell like freshly cut grass. Generally speaking, such durians are not mature enough. Ripe durians have a rich and fragrant smell, which makes people salivate and are often eaten. People will know it when they smell it; however, if you smell the smell of alcohol from durian, you must not buy it. Such durian must have gone bad.

Tip 5: For those who are good at picking durians based on their appearance, another smart way is to look at the bulging “hill” outside the “mace” and the gentle and slightly bulging “hill” inside. , it is the sweet and fragrant pulp. The more "hills", of course, the more pulp! You can also know the amount of pulp by looking at the spikes of the "mace". If the mace has mostly flat, conical spikes with a larger base, it proves that the durian has more pulp and is more mature; conversely, if The sharp thorns are mostly sharp and thin, which proves that the fruit is not mature enough. When looking at the appearance, another thing to note is to look at the “tail” of the durian, which is the fruit stem. The thick and fresh "tail" proves that it is nutritious and fresh in quality, and is another "indicator" for selecting durian.

Tip 6: Shake carefully. Place the fingers of both hands in the depression between the spikes on both sides of the durian. Gently pick up the durian. After holding it firmly, shake it gently with your hands. If you feel a gentle collision or a slight sound inside the durian, it means that the pulp has matured and separated from the shell. Such a durian is a mature and good durian.
