How to choose durian with more meat? How to choose durian

Regarding durian, there are definitely some people who like it and some people who dislike it. Therefore, friends who like to eat traffic must have their own set of identification methods. Actually, there are also some friends who don't know how to distinguish and can only rely on luck. So let's first see how to distinguish

Tips for picking durians

1. The most important thing is that if you don't feel good about picking durians, but still really want to eat them, then just force yourself to choose one. This kind of idea must not exist. Once you have chosen one, it really doesn't work, and you regret it in your heart, which affects your mood

Firstly, take a look at the appearance and avoid selecting items that are moldy or have a lot of fruit flies flying around the cracked area. If they don't look clean, don't put them in your mouth

3. How does it taste? The size of the core is different, and it depends on the variety. It depends on the fruit store's purchase, and I can't distinguish between them. As long as the color is not too green when choosing, there won't be any problems

4. The most important thing is the shape. Be sure to buy ones that are close to circular, indicating that the flesh is full and there is more meat. It doesn't matter if they are smaller. Don't buy pointed ones, as they indicate that the flesh is long and elongated. If some of the tips crack open, you can see that the shell is not thick enough. Also, don't buy flat ones, as they indicate that only one side has meat

5. It doesn't matter whether it cracks or not. I have bought some meat that doesn't crack but has a lot of delicious meat. The key is not to be too green, and the thorns should not be small and dense, indicating that it hasn't grown well or hasn't been cooked yet

6. Try not to buy meat alone. Some durians are already rotten and moldy, and I have been tricked before. When I bought them back, I found that white hair had grown on the meat

7. In winter, I bought durian from a small store freezer and selected it using the above methods. The quality is also good, indicating that the season and freshness are not particularly important. This fruit is already very rough

8. Don't buy online. If you have been tricked, it may be raw or have thick skin and little meat. Although the portion size is not lacking, what you want to eat is meat

Oh, regarding the cracking issue, I think some fruit shops cut it themselves, or it's just a bit cracked. When people choose, they break it again, and it will crack. I have also seen whole durians crack to the handle, which is too strong. How could it be

How to choose durian

Tip 1: Smell

When we buy durian, the first thing we need to do is smell it. If we smell an alcohol smell, it means it has gone bad and we must not buy it. If the "tail" of durian has a strong fruity aroma, it is the most delicious

Tip 2: Look at

① Look at the appearance of durian. Choose long ones that look like wolf fangs, and have more hilly shapes (i.e. raised like small hills). This type of durian has plump flesh and smaller shells

② Look at the thorns on the surface of durian. Generally speaking, the denser the thorns, the less flesh there will be. Choose flesh with sparse thorns that is fuller

③ Look at the color of durian three times. If the color is too dark, it is likely to be fully ripe. Choosing durian with neither too dark nor too light color has the best taste

Tip 3: Pinch

Use two fingers to pinch the tips of adjacent spikes and apply slight force to squeeze them inward. If it is easy to bring them closer to each other, it indicates that the maturity is relatively good, but if it feels very solid and cannot be pinched at all, it proves that the durian is still relatively raw

Tip 4: Choose

Finally, choose a durian with a slightly cracked outer shell, indicating good maturity and a relatively sweet taste. However, if the outer shell cracks too much, it indicates overcooking

Selection Tips for Golden Pillow Durian

For Golden Pillows, I don't think an open mouth Golden Pillow is good, as it will allow bacteria to enter and breed

1) If the color is golden yellow with a slight hint of blue, unopened, and the spikes feel slightly soft when pinched, and have a unique durian aroma when smelled, I consider it to be of high quality. When you return to your home, wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool, ventilated, and dry place. You can enjoy it after 24 hours

2) If the color is golden yellow with a hint of brown, the spikes are relatively soft, the mouth is slightly open, and the aroma is strong, this is a good product, and you can enjoy it immediately after buying it at home

Actually, my principle is not to buy durian with a big mouth opening when going home, because you don't know how merchants make durian open. (It can be stepped on, dropped, or stimulated by chemical agents, etc.)

3) Finally, looking at the appearance, choose the peach heart type of Golden Pillow Durian as much as possible, avoiding the slender type, which will result in a higher meat yield

Here are some methods for selecting durians with a lot of meat:

First, look at the appearance

1. The shape of the fruit spines: the spines are large and sparse, and the bottom is relatively wide. This type of durian generally has a thin skin and relatively more flesh. If the fruit spines are sharp and dense, it indicates that the skin may be thicker and the flesh may be less. Pinch the adjacent thorns with your hand, and if you can easily bring them closer, it indicates that the durian is mature and the flesh will be fuller
2. Fruit type: Try to choose round and plump durians that are close to spherical in shape, as they usually have a higher meat yield. Those durians with strange shapes and flattened long flesh may have uneven distribution and relatively less meat content
   

2. Look at the degree of opening

1. Slight opening: It is better to choose durian with slight opening. This can ensure that the durian is already ripe, while also avoiding opening too wide, which can expose the flesh to the air for too long and easily breed bacteria and be contaminated
2. No opening but fragrant: If there is no opening but a strong durian aroma can be smelled, it may indicate that the durian has also matured. You can gently press the skin of durian, and if you feel that the skin has some elasticity, you can also consider purchasing it
   

III. Look at the fruit stem

1. Thick and fresh: The fruit stem is thick and fresh in color, indicating that the durian has just been harvested and is relatively fresh. Fresh durian flesh has a better taste and is more likely to have more meat
2. No black spots: Check for black spots or signs of softness at the fruit stem. If there are, it may indicate that the durian has been stored for too long or has started to spoil, and the quality of the fruit flesh will also be affected
   

4. Smell

1. Rich aroma: Mature durian will emit a strong aroma. If it smells like green grass, it means the durian is not mature enough; If there is an alcoholic taste, it may be due to the durian being too mature or even starting to ferment, which can worsen the taste of the durian and is not recommended for purchase
   

5. Shake gently

1. Slight shaking: Gently shake the durian. If you can feel a slight shaking inside, it means that the flesh has matured and separated from the shell. This type of durian usually has more meat and better maturity. If there is no sensation of shaking, the flesh may still be small or immature
