Durian is one of the fruits that everyone is familiar with. Although it is a tropical fruit, it has appeared on vegetable stalls in first-, second- and third-tier cities through China’s convenient transportation and logistics. Durian is a fruit with very polarizing opinions. People who like durian love it very much, while people who don't like durian are extremely disgusted. The reason lies in the fragrance of durian.
Durian itself is not smelly. We often feel that its taste is not pleasant. This is because durian exudes a strong smell. Each flavor is separated independently and is all lightly fragrant, such as There are caramel, citrus, and onion flavors, but these flavors are strong and strong, competing to present themselves. All the strong flavors are intertwined together, and they become the familiar "durian smell".
However, for those who love durian, this is not a strange smell, but actually delicious. Durian is sweet and soft, and is delicious enough when eaten raw. For fancy eating, you can put the durian on a grill and grill it on skewers, or scoop out the pulp and pour it into an electric oven for baking. If you like to eat something colder, put the durian meat in the refrigerator and drink it cold, or put the durian into kefir to make durian ice cream.
However, although we are already familiar with the aroma of durian and can even eat durians from different countries in Southeast Asia, many people do not know enough about the basic knowledge of durian. Did you know that a durian tree can produce hundreds of durians? Do you know how to store durian after steaming? Do you know that when durian is harvested, you have to slam the durian on the ground?
In fact, the durian tree can produce hundreds of fruits at one time, but only a few dozen can be drunk. In order to allow the nutrients from flowers and trees to enter the fruit and make the durian fragrance sweeter and more delicious, farmers will prune the durian trees appropriately to ensure that the durians that are finally produced are large and round, and the sugar content of the fruit is high. qualified. This is why even though durian trees produce many fruits, the total number of durians is still very small.
Choosing durian is also a hassle. Durian picking cannot be replaced by equipment. This also makes durian orchards in Southeast Asia hire a group of people to pick durians when the durians mature. To pick durians, you have to go into the tree, pluck the durians from the tree, and then throw them down, where the workers below will stay. Plantations with better standards use a layer of nets to catch the durians, but they rely more on human resources.
Picked durians can be transported to other areas. If you are going to eat it right away in the orchard, be sure to slam the durian to the ground before eating. The growers stated that the main reason is that after the durian matures naturally under the tree, it will fall to the ground. The violent vibration tells the durian that it has been perfected. At this time, the perfect durian will maximize its sugar content and fragrance, and it will be delicious when eaten. It tastes good and tastes good.
On the other hand, drop the durian to the ground and make an opening. Through this opening, you can easily open the hard thorn-covered shell of the durian and taste the fruit inside. Therefore, before eating durian in the durian orchard, you must remember to hold the durian and throw it to the ground, but don't think it is rude.
