Durian Fruit

 

One of my favorite fruits is Durian. Its shell has sharp spikes and has an irregular circular shape. Once you crack it open, its smell stays inside your nose. Most people say it smells like rotten onions (or other bad rotten stuff) but it smells heavenly to me as well as how it tastes. Honestly, I don't understand why people hate this fruit. I can eat this all day long.

Actually, I eat this in moderation. Two servings of durian will make your body warm and make you feel drunk (haha!). It's different for other people but for me two to three servings are enough. I remember when I was younger, I finished more than 7 servings without feeling anything. Now that I am older, I am conscious about my eating habits. 

Just like other fruits, durian has benefits as well. I have heard that it can cure dengue fever. They said it can do wonders in the platelet count of the patient. Aside from that, among other health benefits, it has vitamin C and definitely has lots of fiber.

For other people who wouldn't want to eat fresh durian fruit, they can try other delicacies made out of durian. There are durian candies and milkshakes available in the markets as well. Always remember to eat in moderation. :)
