Durian is the King of fruits in Asia. The name durian comes from the Malay word "duri" meaning thorn. Its pale yellow flesh is creamy and sweet and accompanied by a strong scent. Yet for most Asians, durian has long been considered a delicacy. Its odour is so unique that hotels and airlines ban customers from carrying the durian and many foreigners cannot bring themselves to sample the flesh but it is well worth it!Durian can grow into large, oblong shaped fruit with the green skin covered in hard, short spikes. When split open, the inner yellow flesh is revealed. Inside the creamy flesh are large seeds. As well as eaten fresh, durian is also cooked into a paste and used in Thai desserts.
