PROCESSING DURIAN

 This is the first time I saw how a during fruit is being used to grow larvae. 

I saw a video, supposed to be in mainland China, a seller prepare th larvae to be sold to a buyer.

 I was surprise, the durian that were exported to China from Malaysia are not be consumed by the Chinese. However the fruits are being used as the breeding ground for the baby caterpillars.

I always wonder how it taste like, I never have the courage to try.

DURIAN TUPAI KING

 I am not a durian expert, but when the price was quoted to be rm100 per kg, it interest me. Not that I will buy it for the cost is too much. But it interest me as, there are many people will to part with their cash for a taste that last a few minutes.

 

 A video to introduce the durian. Another surprise, the story about durian is published overseas, a copy from Los Angeles Times is attached to prove the point.

Dalit Durian Sells in Sabah

The Dalit Durian is new to me.
I am more familiar with the peninsular variety. The wild during is not cultivated, but grow in the wild naturally. It is known as durian daun, because the fruits bear at the twigs and surrounded by the leaves. The cultivated varieties fruit on the branches.  


Looking at the price, it seem to be interesting. At rm25 per kilo, it is a money maker. The other common variety is the kampong version, selling at about rm15 to rm20 per kilo. This durian is cultivated in a smaller plots, thus the supply is lower.
