Durian- king of fruits Davao Pride

Davao Famous Fruit

The Durian  is the  one fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae. Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk.

The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimeters (12 -15in) long and 15 centimeters (6 -10n) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (1 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from sphere to round, the color of its husk green to light yellow to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.

The savory  flesh emits a distinctive odor, strong penetrating even  though it when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrants; others find the aroma stink and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. The odour has led to the fruit's ostracism from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.

The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia,Thailand,Guam and Philippines has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavored with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavor a wide variety of savory and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines.
