Native to Southeast Asia, durian, often called the “King of Fruits” is known for its large size, spiky exterior and creamy, custard-like inside. There are over 300 named varieties in Thailand alone, and more than 100 varieties in Malaysia. Despite the controversy surrounding its smell, durian is beloved in many parts of the world for its unique taste and texture.
The fruit’s texture is described as soft and creamy, and its flavour can vary from sweet and rich like caramel to slightly savoury, or even bitter, depending on the variety. It is typically eaten fresh but it can also be used in sweets, ice cream and savoury dishes. At Kooky, true to our reputation of always selecting the most premium fruit varieties, our freeze dried pouches are packed with the famous Royal Thai Monthong durian with a unique flavour that blend of sweet & savoury notes.
Durian is infamous for its pungent aroma! Descriptions of the smell range from sulphur and rotting onions to more appealing notes of fruit and honey. The strong, overpowering scent is caused by sulphur compounds. While some people hate the smell - others can’t get enough! Just like Marmite, you either love it, or you hate it.
At Kooky, we sell durian in a freeze dried form. Freeze-drying softens the durian's strong scent meaning you can take it everywhere and anywhere, scent free!
Durian is not only famous for its distinctive smell but also for its impressive nutritional benefits. It’s rich in iron, which supports red blood cell production. It is also a great source of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system and promotes skin health. Potassium found in durian is essential for heart health and muscle function. Our freeze dried durian is also free of the 14 main allergens!
So, despite its odour, durian offers a nutritional punch and is an integral part of Southeast Asian cuisine. Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that this fruit has earned its reputation as both a cultural icon and a superfood!
Our freeze dried durian boasts an extended shelf life without the need for preservatives, meaning you can always have delicious durian on hand for a quick effortless snack! Each pack is 12g which is the perfect on-the-go treat!
If you’re adventurous enough to try it, you may just find that the benefits outweigh the strong smell!
