A large, oblong-shaped tropical fruit with green/yellow skin that is also covered in sharp pointed spines. Flesh is divided into about 5 sections, each containing 1-6 seeds surrounded by creamy yellow pulp. Their flavour is quite unique. The durian is noted for its strong odour.

Selection:
A yellowing in the skin and the fruit giving off a characteristic odour is a sign that the fruit has reached its maturity.

Storage:
Ripened at room temperature then store in refrigerator. Keep sealed and away from other foods likely to pick up the strong odour of the ripe fruit.
