DURIAN- SMELLY BUT INCREDIBLY NUTRITIOUS

 

Delicious, soft, durian fruit is one of the popular tropical fruits known for its fragrance and flavor. Durian is widely recognized as the "King of Fruits" in many South-East Asian countries, especially in Vietnam.

Durian is actually very high in nutrients, containing much more than most other fruits.

However, it is also highly controversial because of its strong smell.

What is durian fruit?

Durian is a seasonal fruit; its season lasts typically from June until August. It is distinctive for large size and spiky, unique odor and hard outer shell. In shape, it varies from round to oblong; the color of its husk (rind) is green with brown, and its flesh features creamy-yellow to saffron color bulbs depending upon the species.

Durian Is Among The Most Nutritious Fruits You Can Eat

Like other tropical fruits such as banana, avocado, and jackfruit, durian is rich in energy, vitamins, and minerals: 100 g fresh fruit carries about 147 calories.

Durian is naturally rich in potassium, dietary fibre, iron, vitamin C, and vitamin B complex. The king of fruits is thus excellent for improving muscle strength and blood pressure, bowel movements and skin health. It also supports the nervous and immune systems, and enhances red blood cell formation.

Health benefits:

+ Reduce cancer risk. Its antioxidants may neutralize cancer-promoting free radicals. In one study, durian extract prevented a strain of breast cancer cells from spreading.

+ Prevent heart disease. Several compounds in durian may help lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of atherosclerosis, or the hardening of the arteries.

+ Fight infection. The rind contains antibacterial and anti-yeast properties.

+ Lower blood sugar: Durian has a lower glycemic index than other tropical fruits, meaning it may lead to a lower blood sugar spike. It may also prevent some glucose from being absorbed and stimulate insulin to be released.
