Durian, known as the "king of fruits", has attracted many consumers with its unique taste and texture. However, when choosing durians, many people will encounter a problem: how can you pick durians with thin skin and thick flesh?Let's take a look at this issue together.
1. Observe the appearance
We are going to observe the appearance of durian. A good durian should have a golden-yellow shell with evenly distributed spikes on the shell. If the shell is too green in color or the spikes are too sparse, it is likely to be an unripe durian, or the flesh is not full.
Second, touch the shell
We can touch the shell of the durian. The ripe durian shell should be moderately hard and soft, not too hard or too soft. If the shell is too hard, it is most likely an unripe durian;If the shell is too soft, it may be an overripe durian.
3. Observe the navel
Observing the navel of the durian is also an important step. The navel is a small bump at the base of the durian that is usually pointed. If the navel is fuller and more prominent, then the flesh of this durian may be thicker. On the contrary, if the navel is relatively flat or concave, then it is likely to be a durian with insufficient flesh.
Fourth, try to weigh
We can try the weight of the durian. Generally speaking, durians with thin skin and thick flesh will be heavier. If there are two durians of similar size, one is heavier and the other is lighter, then the heavier durian is likely to have thin skin and thick flesh.
5. Avoid misunderstandings
When choosing durians, we also need to avoid some misunderstandings. First of all, don't go too far with the fullness of the navel, as this is not the only criterion for judging the thickness of durian flesh. Secondly, don't think that the darker the shell, the better, as this is most likely a sign of overmaturity. Finally, don't put too much faith in the saying "open durian tastes the best", as open durian is likely to be overripe and susceptible to contamination.
6. Choose the right time
If you want to pick durians with thin skin and thick flesh, it is also very important to choose the right time. Generally speaking, from June to August every year is the peak season of durian, when the quality of durian is the best and the best is relatively low. At other times, the quality of durian may be affected due to factors such as climate. Therefore, when buying durian, it is best to choose to buy it during the peak season.
7. Try a variety of varieties
Different varieties of durian also differ in taste and flesh quality. For example, Golden Pillow Durian has softer flesh and a sweet tasteOn the other hand, Qingni durian has a harder flesh and a lighter taste. Therefore, when picking durians, you can try a variety of varieties to find your favorite texture and taste.
If you want to pick a durian with thin skin and thick flesh, you need to observe and judge from many aspects such as appearance, touch, and weight. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid some misunderstandings and choose the right time and variety. Only in this way can we truly enjoy the delicious taste and nutritional value of durian.
