Why are there fibers in durian flesh?

If there are fibers in the durian flesh, it may be that the durian is not fully ripe. Generally speaking, the durian flesh of normal maturity tastes soft, sticky and sweet. If the durian flesh is hard or has fibers, it means that the durian is not fully ripe. The skin of raw durian is a little green, the flesh is not sweet, and the taste is astringent. It is not suitable to open and eat. In addition, the presence of fibers in the durian flesh may also be related to the variety.

Durian pulp contains a lot of sugar, is high in calories, and is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins A, B, C, etc.

Durian contains a full range of amino acids, including glutamic acid, aspartic acid, etc., and contains plant active ingredients such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, etc.

Why doesn't Hainan produce durian?

Because the growth cycle of durian is too long, and durian has only been introduced to the domestic market for more than 10 years, the planting technology is not very mature. As a result, the input and output of durian are not proportional at all, which has caused some farmers to switch to planting other crops.

It takes about 4-8 years for durian to bear fruit from planting. Different varieties have different fruiting times. Durian trees occupy a large area and have a low yield per unit area. The tree is tall and difficult to manage.

At present, the technology of durian cultivation is not mature yet. It is not a wise thing for small retail investors or some medium and large investors to carry out large-scale cultivation. After all, it takes 4-8 years for durian to be profitable.

Under the influence of various conditions, my country's durian planting industry has not developed, let alone formed a large-scale industrial chain. Therefore, there are currently very few people planting durian in Hainan.

Why is the durian flesh white?

It may be that the durian is not fully ripe yet, or it may be due to the different types of durian, which causes the color of the durian flesh to vary. The unripe durian flesh is white and slightly hard. You can wrap it in plastic wrap and seal it in the refrigerator for about two days before eating.

The white-fleshed durian tastes sweet with a little bitterness. Compared with the yellow-fleshed durian, the white-fleshed durian is not as dense as the yellow-fleshed durian and has a lower taste.

To ripen durian, you can put raw durian together with ripe apples or ripe bananas, wrap the whole durian with two pieces of newspaper (plastic wrap, thick towel, etc.), and put it in a cool place.

When choosing durian, choose those with small cracks, larger size, rich fragrance, and those that make sounds when gently shaken.
