“Vitamins and minerals in fresh food”
DURIAN
Durian fruits are very large (up to 4 kg. or 7lb) and spiky as you can see and grow on very tall trees. The fruit is delicious and sweet. The areas they originate from are South East Asian countries. The seeds are also edible.
Vitamins: C (H), B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.
Minerals: Copper (H), Iron, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc and Potassium .are all well represented.
Durian is one of those tropical fruits you like or hate. The smell puts some people off a little at times before they will eat them, but generally, it is a highly sought after fruit, especially amongst the local people. The fruit is exported to Europe and the USA and fetches good prices.
As most fruits, the antioxidant value is good and in the season, they should be eaten alongside other fruits.
I hope you have a chance to eat them.
