How to Choose a Good Durian / 6 Steps to Choosing A Good Durian
First of all, what is a good durian? For us, a good durian is one that is ripe, fresh and free from larvae/worms. However, a durian with worm doesn't mean it is not good because it can still be delicious.
So how do you know if a durian is good or fresh? Here are some steps you can try when looking for a good durian:
- Look at the tip, if it is too dry means it is no longer fresh. A little dry is okay.
- Look at the bottom, if it is crack it may be over-ripe or not so fresh. But it still can be delicious.
- Smell the durian, if there is a strong smell, it is most likely good. If there is no smell, it is probably not ripe.
- Use your fingernails to scratch the durian, if it sounds hollow it is likely to be a good one.
- Put the durian close to your ear, shake it and listen carefully, if there is a 'moving' sound, it is likely to be good.
- Look for holes around the durian, if there is tiny hole somewhere, there is likely to be a worm (larva of an insect) that has burrow into it.
- Yes, there is actually a 7th step, but it's not going to be useful. If you have the chance to open the durian, open it and taste it. :)
Ways Of Opening A Durian
There are few ways to open the durian. Some might find opening a durian just too difficult, so I'll list other methods in case you want to try another way.
- Use a short knife, one that is slightly bigger than the standard swiss army knife- most durian farmers use this.
- Use a big knife, the one for chopping meat - ladies love to use this.
- Use bare hands - works well for some over-ripe durians.
- Use a special durian opener, which is made of wood. Not exactly sure where you can find this tool.
- Use a chainsaw - works very well, but not encouraged. If you're gonna open one this way, shoot a video and send it to me afterwards, yeah? Thanks.
