Durian storage method and time

The simplest way to store durian is to peel as much as you eat and use the original shell to store the flesh. You don't need to take out all the flesh at once. The leftover durian can be wrapped in plastic wrap or tin foil and stored in a cool place or refrigerator. Generally, it can be stored at room temperature for one to two days.

Sometimes when you go to the vegetable market or fruit store to buy durian, the vendor or store owner may peel off all the durian shells, leaving only the flesh. In this case, you can store the purchased durian in a sealed fresh-keeping box and put it in the refrigerator.

Durian can also be stored in the freezer and taken out to thaw when you want to eat it. This method can effectively extend the shelf life of durian. It is recommended to eat it within one month.

Durian can also be stored after secondary processing, for example, the durian can be crushed and mixed with whipped cream and milk to make durian ice cream.

The difference between Golden Pillow Durian and Musang King

There are three differences between Golden Pillow Durian and Musang King. In terms of maturity, Musang King falls naturally when ripe, while Golden Pillow Durian is picked manually when it is about 70% ripe. In terms of price, Musang King is generally grafted and cultivated at a higher price, while Golden Pillow Durian has a lower cost. In terms of origin, Musang King is produced in Malaysia, while Golden Pillow Durian is produced in Thailand.

The most common durian in my country is the Golden Pillow durian, which tastes sweet and greasy. Since it is not fully ripe when picked, it needs to be left for a while to ripen before it can be opened and eaten. Musang King, on the other hand, is picked fully ripe and is usually peeled and frozen and exported to my country, so the quality is mostly guaranteed.

The Golden Pillow durian is relatively large in size, some can reach about ten pounds, and their appearance is golden when ripe. The Musang King durian is mostly concentrated between 3 and 5 pounds. There is an obvious five-star crack at the bottom of the shell, and there are few thorns at that location.

The difference between Qingni durian and Jialun durian

The appearance of the Qingni durian is a bit like a mallet, with more protruding petals. The overall shape is relatively round, with small hills standing up, and the skin is thin. The skin of the Jialun durian is relatively thick, and the color is generally light yellow and not so sharp. The peel is also relatively soft and easy to break.

Both Qingni durian and Jialun durian are different varieties of durian. It is not particularly easy to distinguish them, and many people generally do not know how to distinguish them.

When choosing durian, you might as well use your sense of smell first. A good durian has a strong smell without any sour taste. The smell is strongest at the fruit stalk, and it is best when it is 70% to 80% ripe.

The best durian is the one with a hilly appearance, because there is a core growing inside each hill. Where there is a core there must be flesh, and the more hills there are, the more flesh there is.
