What is durio dulcis?

Durio Dulcis is a species of tree in the Malvaceae family, native to Borneo, Sumatra, and Malay Peninsula. It is commonly known as the "Lahong" in Sarawak, Malaysia. The tree can grow up to 30 meters in height, and its fruit is commonly referred to as the "Lahong fruit."

The Durio Dulcis fruit has a distinctive taste and fragrance, which is why it is also known as the "sweet durian." Its flesh is yellowish-white, soft, and custard-like with a sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy flavour. The fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as potassium, fiber, and vitamin C.

Durio Dulcis is a popular fruit in Southeast Asia and is often consumed fresh or used in local desserts, jams, and cakes. It is also exported to countries such as Singapore, Brunei, and Japan. However, the fruit is not widely available outside of its native region and is considered a rare delicacy in other parts of the world.
