Durians are large, spiky fruits native to Southeast Asia, often referred to as the "king of fruits." They have a strong odor that some people find unpleasant, while others enjoy its unique aroma. The fruit's flesh is creamy and custard-like, with a sweet and savory flavor that varies between different varieties. Durians are rich in nutrients, including vitamins C and B, fiber, and healthy fats. They are commonly eaten fresh, but can also be used in desserts, ice creams, and savory dishes. Despite their divisive smell, durians are highly prized in many cultures for their distinctive taste and health benefits.
