Durian Whole
Durian, meaning “thorny” and is a member of the mallow family.

One of the most widely exported is a variety called Monthong, which is Thai for “Golden Pillow”. It’s a sweet and creamy variety that is popular in Thailand.

Applications
Durian fruit is most commonly eaten raw, and can be used in sweet or savory recipes. Once ripe, the tough skin can easily be cut open and the pudding-like pulp can be scooped out and eaten raw, though some recommend chilling it first. Durian fruit is used in a number of Southeast Asian recipes, particularly in desserts. It can be blended or pureed, baked into cakes or custards, or used to flavor ice cream.
