(2) pry open with a sharp instrument: if the crack is not very large, you can cut it off with a sharp tool such as a sharp knife to make the crack of durian bigger, and then easily break it with your hand. If you are afraid of being hurt by a sharp weapon, you can drop the durian a few times, which can also make the crack bigger.

2. How to open the durian without cracks?

(1) cut along the lines:

Durian without cracks is easy to open as long as it is mature. The method is also to dig out the pedicel part with scissors first, and after digging it out, you can see the obvious lines. Stick it down the grain with a sharp knife, and be careful not to hurt the flesh too deeply. After the sharp knife goes down, with a light pry, the durian will crack, and then break it with your hand.

(2) lift the fruit stalk

Mature durian has a seam, so you just need to lift the handle of the durian up, the tail to the ground, and then hit the ground to open it easily. However, it is generally not recommended to use this method, because after opening the durian pulp is easy to fall apart, there is no way to continue to preserve.

The mature and cracked durian can be easily broken by hand directly. If the crack is not very large, it can be cut off from the crack with the help of sharp tools such as a sharp knife, pry the crack a little bigger, and then break it with your hand. However, when using a sharp knife, you must pay attention to personal safety.

Second, what if the opening is hard?

When buying durian, you must observe the meat to see if it is mature, because once you peel the durian, it will always remain hard and hard, and there is no way to soften it, so durian that is not ripe must not be peeled, otherwise you can only eat durian that is raw. However, there are several ways to ripen it:

1. Accelerate the ripening of durian meat

(1) ripening durian with fruit

When the durian is not ripe, it can be put together with bananas, apples and other ripe fruits, sealed and preserved for two or three days to accelerate ripening. This method is safe and convenient, and tastes much better when eaten, so many people use this method.

(2) ripening durian with rice

Immature durian can also be ripened with rice, because rice releases some ethylene during preservation, which can effectively help durian to ripen, but when ripening durian, you need to remove the durian skin, take out the pulp and put it in a box. Then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the rice. After two days, the durian can be eaten.

(3) ripening durian with newspaper

Newspapers can also accelerate the ripening of durian, by wrapping the newspaper on the appearance of durian, and then lighting it with a lighter. When the newspaper is about to burn out, take it out and put it on a clean newspaper, then put it in a warm environment for a day or two. Durian can be ripe.

2. Put durian in a warm environment

If there is no ripe fruit at home, put the durian in a warmer place such as a balcony or put it in a box and keep it sealed for a few days.

3. Put the hard durian meat into the microwave oven to turn

Wrap the hard durian meat in plastic wrap and cook it in the microwave, but it doesn't taste as good as ripe durian, so it's better to eat it in other ways if you're not in a hurry.

4. Refrigerate the raw durian in the refrigerator

If the above methods are tested and the durian is still immature, the durian can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated in the refrigerator for a day or two, which can also accelerate its ripening.

5. Find the boss and change the cooked durian.

If the durian you buy is too raw and not far from the fruit store you buy, you can go to your boss and change it to a ripe one.

Third, how to choose mature durian

1. See if there is a crack.

If there is a crack in the durian, it means that the durian is mature. If not, it means that it is not yet mature, but it is best not to pick too large cracks, this kind of pulp is likely to be contaminated, after eating will cause discomfort to the human body. Therefore, when selecting, you can choose those that have just cracked, and this kind of durian is the most suitable.

2. Look at the color

The shell of mature durian is generally transparent yellow, while immature durian has more cyan, so you can choose yellow one as far as possible.

3. Smell

The mature durian smells very fragrant, while the immature smell is the smell of freshly cut grass, and if it smells like alcohol, it means the durian is spoiled and inedible, so it's best not to buy it.

Tips for buying mature durian

The best choice of durian shell is yellow, and there are cracks in the durian, which smells very fragrant.

Can durian be eaten without opening its mouth?

You can eat it, but it's best to wait until it's cracked. Because the durian is not fully ripe at this time, its flesh is crisp, not too sweet, tastes ordinary, or even not delicious, so it is best to wait a few days or use fruit or refrigerator to accelerate ripening and then eat better.

5. How long will it last after it is uncooked?

In general, durian can be ripened after it is not ripe, such as ripe fruit, newspaper, cold storage and so on. Durian will be ripe in one or two days, and you can eat it at this time.
