The Durian is widely known and revered in Southeast Asia as the "King of Fruits", durian fruit is distinctive for its large size, unique odor, and formidable thorn-covered husk. Durian fruits can grow up to 30 centimeters (12 in) long and 15 centimeters (6 in) in diameter, and typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Durian shape ranges from oblong to round, the color of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending on the species.
The British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich custard highly flavored with almonds" in the 19th century.
The Durian flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and is used to flavor a wide variety of savory and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines.
The durian seeds can also be eaten when cooked. The name durian comes from the Malay word (thorn) with suffix -an.

Health benefits of durian All parts of the durian plant — leaves, husk, roots, and fruit — have been used in traditional Malaysian medicine to treat various illnesses, including high fever, jaundice, and skin conditions (2Trusted Source). Studies suggest that durian fruit offers the following health benefits (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source): - Reduces cancer risk. Its antioxidants may neutralize cancer-promoting free radicals. In one test-tube study, durian extract prevented a strain of breast cancer cells from spreading.
- Prevents heart disease. Several compounds in durian may help reduce cholesterol levels and your risk of atherosclerosis, or the hardening of your arteries.
- Fights infection. The rind contains compounds that have antibacterial and anti-yeast properties.
- Lowers blood sugar. Durian has a lower glycemic index (GI) than many other tropical fruits, meaning it may spike blood sugar levels less.
While these studies show promise, many have been done on animals or in test tubes. No solid claims can be made until the health benefits of durian have been confirmed by controlled studies in people.
