I. the origin of durian

Durian is mainly distributed in Southeast Asia, and its origin is Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia. Durian is a typical tropical crop, which requires very high heat conditions. only in areas where the multi-year average temperature is above 0 degrees Celsius, there is no frost throughout the year, the accumulated temperature is more than 10 degrees Celsius and the annual precipitation is above 1000mm, durian can grow normally and smoothly. In China, there are a small amount of cultivation in Guangdong, Taiwan and Hainan, flowering from April to May and fruit ripening from August to September.

Second, the selection method of durian

1. Look at the pinched thorns.

Try to choose durian that looks like a mound and looks like a mound. The more hills there are, the more meat there will be, the less dense meat, the thicker the meat. Choose two adjacent spikes, squeeze the tips of the spikes with your hands, and squeeze them inward a little harder. If you can make them "close" to each other more easily, it proves that durian is softer and more mature. If you feel very solid, you can't knead them at all. It proves that durian is relatively unripe.

two。 Look at the shape

The more petals, the more pulp inside. The large durian has plenty of water, sweet taste, color-determined taste, and the color had better be light yellowish green, golden yellow or khaki, not dark or light, not green, usually immature, dark yellow or even brown, although it is not good-looking, but it is sweet, but the color can not be too dark, blackening is too ripe or not delicious.

3. Smell the smell

Smell the mature durian near the bottom of the durian, while the immature durian smells like freshly cut grass, but if you smell the durian with a smell of alcohol, it means that the durian has gone bad, so don't buy it.

4. Look at the degree of cracking

Choose durian whose shell has already cracked, that is, those that have just begun to crack, it is best to choose those that are not too big, or those that do not have an opening. if the fruit has already cracked, the exposed pulp is easy to be contaminated and spoiled. If you choose a more mature durian that has just opened, it is best to enjoy it as soon as possible when you get home. It cannot be placed for a long time, and it is easy to deteriorate.

5. Shake the flesh

Pick up the durian and gently shake the durian. if you feel a slight collision and a sense of separation, it indicates that the flesh is ripe and out of the shell. This durian is a mature durian.

6. Look at the fruit stalk.

If the stalk looks stout and fresh, it proves that it is fresh and nutritious. You can gently press it with your fingernails to show that it is relatively fresh. If the stalk is small and dry, it means that durian has been stored for a long time.

3. Preservation methods of durian

After buying durian, you can wrap it with a few more newspapers or cardboard shells to prevent the fruit from stinging. Durian has the nature of post-ripening and should be stored in a cool place.

The ripe fruit will crack, at this time, the pulp can be taken out, put into a fresh bag and stored in the refrigerator. It will have the taste of ice cream after being chilled. Durian can be eaten one by one, as long as the other petals are not opened. Other refrigerators with shells can still be kept for a few days, but not for a long time.

If the flesh turns sour, it means that durian has gone bad and is not suitable for further consumption. The flesh should be eaten or frozen on the same day after peeling off. It should not be refrigerated and stored for a long time. As long as the durian is sealed and tied up in a fresh-keeping paper bag, it will not taste in the refrigerator.
