Tips to Get Good Durians

• Colour of the thorns: Green thorns with brown tips
• Thickness and colour of the stalk: A durian with a thicker stalk likely obtained adequate nutrition, resulting in a pulp that is more fleshy.
• Shape of the durian: Usually, the more imperfect or irregular the durian’s shape is, the more aromatic and creamy it is. A durian that is perfectly round may look nice and have more chambers in it, but it may taste bland.
• Shake and listen: The durian is ripe if you hear a clear and crisp yet a little squishy sound. The fruit is unripe if there is a hollow sound. If the fruit appears green with a hollow sound, it is probably unripe with hardened flesh.
