Everything about red-shelled durian is a little magical. This tree is one of the rarer durian and lives deep in the jungle of Borneo. In the season, red spheres dot the shady forest floor, like depraved Christmas ornaments, and sensational red leaps out of green leaves like green leaves. It is the strongest smell of durian, and it is said that its smell can pass through the jungle for a kilometer.

The red-shell durian has a bright red appearance, long and sharp thorns, and the tip is sometimes yellow or black. This is very difficult to open because it lacks the weakened seams that every other durian opens. You need a machete to open the red shell durian. Usually, simply beat the fruit in half and scrape off the sticky pulp with your fingers.

I used to laugh at durian cut in half like this. Now I see that everything has a time and a place.

In the case of red-shelled durian, the old maxim "smells like hell, but tastes like heaven" has been exaggerated. The smell of red-shelled durian is absolutely overwhelming. Although Durio graveolens literally means "stinky durian", the smell of red shell durian has by far the strongest aroma of ​​, with intoxicating vapors of industrial gum, menthol and sugar.

Regardless of the sense of smell, everyone thinks that the flavor of red-shelled durian is unparalleled. The flesh is soft, almost full-bodied yellow, loosely covered with ​​ and covered with large, near-black seeds. This is the sweetest durian, like powdered sugar whipped into yogurt with a thin aftertaste. Anyone who likes mint chocolate will like this durian.

Although red-shell durian has excellent flavor and unparalleled enjoyment of durian lovers, it is only planted occasionally. It is not considered to be an economic interest, nor is it the subject of many studies. The tree is big, at least 40 meters high, and the flowers are lovely pink. Like most other durian, it occurs naturally in mixed lowland borneol forests in swampy areas and ridges up to 800 meters high. It is a strong tree and it has been suggested to be used as a rootstock for commercial durian farming.
