What is fruta durian?

Fruta durian is a tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive odor, which has been described as pungent and reminiscent of raw sewage or rotting onions. Despite this, the fruit is highly valued for its creamy texture and unique flavor, which is often compared to a blend of almonds, vanilla, and onions.

The durian fruit is large, spiky, and can weigh up to 7 pounds. It is oval or round in shape and its flesh contains large seeds that are often surrounded by a soft, creamy pulp. The fruit is typically eaten fresh, although it can also be used in a variety of desserts, candies, and other dishes.

Despite its popularity in Southeast Asia, durian is somewhat controversial due to its strong odor, which has led to it being banned from public transportation and some hotels and restaurants. However, for many people, the pungent aroma only adds to the allure of this exotic and highly prized fruit.
